Dr. Matshediso Mothopi-Peri

Matshediso Mothopi-Peri is a dental academic and clinician whose work centers on prosthodontics and oral healthcare for vulnerable populations. Affiliated with South African dental scholarship, the research reflects a strong commitment to improving functional and equitable oral health services, particularly for elderly and medically compromised patients.

Research spans clinical prosthodontics and public health. Contributions include experimental work on guide-plane retention in removable partial dentures, advancing practical design principles, and clinical reporting on prosthodontic rehabilitation for complex maxillofacial defects in elderly patients. This demonstrates expertise in restorative techniques and patient-centered rehabilitation.

More recent scholarship addresses oral healthcare delivery for frail elders in low-income communities, linking policy, prevention, and resource allocation. The body of work, based on limited available publications, highlights strengths in bridging clinical prosthodontics with broader health systems and equity-focused perspectives in oral health.
