David MacDonald
Dr. MacDonald's main research areas are systematic review in diagnostic radiology and Barrett's oesophagus, radiological pathology of the face and jaws (including incidental findings), scleroderma, educational research in radiology, infection control and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The Barrett's review has been adopted by the NHS in the UK. He was radiology lead in the CIHR Canada-wide study on scleroderma, the largest yet to date. Other largest –to-date case series are of incidental findings on dental panoramic radiographs and on lateral cephalograms, and on lymphomas of the jaws. Furthermore, the largest case series that displayed CBCT superiority over conventional radiography with regards, to diagnostic and therapeutic impacts (high tiers on Fryback and Thornbury’s 6-tier hierarchy for the efficacy of diagnostic imaging) in endodontics.

The 2003/2004 SARS pandemic coincided with Dr. MacDonald’s arrival at UBC and the building of the Oral Health Centre. As a result the infection control of all digital radiographic systems was optimised, including the intraoral phosphor-plate bagging system. Dr. MacDonald, at the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic played a lead role in radiology’s response. He was lead author of the 2021 AAOMR’s guidelines and was invited to update them in 2022’s Int. Dent. J’s ‘New normal radiology’ in order to assist the global dental profession’s return to offering as full a service to their patients.

The long term goal of my research is to characterize in stage-specific fashion the key genetic and phenotypic changes, and the relevant cell alterations in oral premalignant lesions with a higher potential for malignant transformation.
