Overview

My research focuses on paediatric dental health, with a particular emphasis on tooth development. I conduct radiographic studies to assess stages of tooth formation and developmental asymmetries, providing insights that can enhance diagnosis and treatment planning for children. My work also addresses public health challenges, aiming to develop preventive strategies that improve oral health outcomes for children on a broader scale.

In addition to my research on tooth development, I am exploring the use of tele-dentistry to make dental care more accessible. This includes using smartphones for dental screenings and evaluations, leveraging technology to bridge gaps in care and promote early intervention. By combining public health approaches with advancements in dental technology, I strive to contribute to innovations that improve children's oral health and well-being.
