Welcome to my research page! Here, I'll take you on a journey through the diverse spectrum of my academic contributions and enter into the exciting world of dentistry research. From investigating the wear and colour stability of resin composites to exploring the biocompatibility of various dental materials, my passion for advancing dental science has been a driving force throughout my career.

Educational Background

My academic foundation lies in dentistry. I obtained my Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) in 2005 from the College of Dentistry, University of Mosul. Fuelled by a desire to delve deeper, I pursued a Master of Science (M.Sc.) in dentistry in 2007 from the same esteemed institution.

Continuing my thirst for knowledge, I embarked on a PhD program at the College of Dentistry at Hawler Medical University, which I successfully completed in 2013. This rigorous academic journey equipped me with the expertise and research skills that continue to shape my contributions to the field.

Research Focus

My research interests lie at the intersection of material science and dentistry. I am particularly fascinated by the properties and applications of dental materials, constantly seeking to improve their efficacy and patient outcomes.

A cornerstone of my research has been the investigation of resin composites, a widely used material in restorative dentistry. I have explored their wear and colour stability, ensuring they can withstand the test of time while maintaining a natural appearance.

However, my research pursuits extend beyond material properties. Biocompatibility is critically important, and I have extensively investigated the interaction between various dental materials and biological systems. This ensures the safety and well-being of patients receiving these treatments.

My research endeavours have explored a wide range of topics within dentistry, including:

• Wear and colour stability of resin composites

• Biocompatibility of dental materials

• Prevalence of hepatitis viruses among dental patients

• Antibacterial efficacy of herbal-based irrigant solutions

• Development of novel endodontic irrigants

• Biomechanical behaviour of dental restorations

• Morphological analysis of root canals

My commitment to advancing dental science extends beyond these publications. From exploring the prevalence of hepatitis viruses among dental patients to assessing the antibacterial efficacy of herbal-based irrigant solutions, each investigation aims to enhance patient care and treatment outcomes. 

My dedication to nurturing the future generation of dental professionals is unwavering. With a track record of overseeing the completion of over 12 Masters' thesis, 2 PhD dissertations, and mentoring 3 successful Board students, I am deeply experienced in guiding postgraduate students towards both academic and clinical excellence. 

Collaboration and Engagement

Research is a collaborative endeavour, and I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with talented researchers from various institutions. Collaboration fosters the exchange of ideas, expertise, and resources, ultimately leading to more robust and impactful research findings.

Beyond Academia

While research is a cornerstone of my academic life, I am also deeply committed to sharing knowledge and best practices with the wider dental community. I actively participate in conferences and workshops, disseminating my research findings and engaging in stimulating discussions with fellow researchers and practitioners.

Looking Forward

As I continue my academic journey, I am actively engaged in researching various aspects of dental health, including the development of novel endodontic irrigants, biomechanical behaviour of dental restorations, and the morphological analysis of root canals. Stay tuned for updates on my latest findings and contributions to the field.

I am excited to share my research journey with you and welcome your interest in my work. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss my research in more detail.
