suggestions: "Associate Prof. Dr. Ngeow Wei Cheong @ David Ngeow\r\nDepartment of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry, University of\r\nMalaya, 50603 Kuala Lumpur, MALAYSIA\r\n\r\nAssociate Professor Dr. Ngeow Wei Cheong is currently a lecturer at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Malaya. He graduated from the University of Malaya in 1992 and was a private practitioner for 9 months before he was offered the post of tutorship at his alma matter. Three years later, he went to do a house job at the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead, England. He obtained his Fellowship in Dental Surgery from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and the Royal College of Surgeons ofEngland in 1996. He subsequently returned to Malaysia and was a pioneer lecturer at the then newly established Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. He left for private practice in 1999 but the temptation to return to academic life was greater, hence he returned to the University of Malaya the subsequent year. His research interest are craniofacial anthropometry, variations of the mandibular nerve, and recovery of peripheral nerves after microsurgical repair. \r\n \r\n\r\nAREAS OF EXPERTISE\r\n\t\r\nDentofacial Anthropometry (Head & Neck, anthropology)\r\n\r\nDental Analgesics (analgesic, local anaesthetic, COX-2 inhibitors)\r\n\r\nSurgical Anatomy (mental foramen, anterior loop)"
