Professor Dr. Theodore Eliades

Biography

Theodore Eliades is a prominent figure in the field of orthodontics and pediatric dentistry, currently serving as the Director of the Clinic of Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry at the University of Zurich. He specializes in the study of enamel-adhesive interfacial phenomena related to orthodontic treatment, including aspects such as structure, roughness, color, and gloss of orthodontic materials. His research investigates the mechanical properties of dental biomedical materials, their clinical implications, and the efficiency of orthodontic technologies through clinical trials. Dr. Eliades has authored several influential publications on the effects of dental materials, including the evaluation of non-Bis-GMA based orthodontic adhesives and their bond strengths. He explores corrosion potential and the release of ionic substances from alloys in the oral environment, as well as the estrogenicity of dental polymers. His extensive work contributes to a deeper understanding of orthodontic methods and material properties affecting dental health across different ages.
