Bio

My research contribution to science involves oral radiology, working with disabled patients, as well as risks associated with dental caries in children. My research interests include various problems that interfere with respiratory function and the oral environment, vitamin D and periodontal disease, and medication-related osteoradionecrosis using CBCT. My recent focus is on developing a toothbrush for patients with disabilities.
