Career Summary & Achievements:
- Well qualified and experienced Consultant on Removable Prosthodontics practicing at Centers (Hospitals) of Ministry of Youth and Sports and my Private Dental Clinic for more than 30 years.
- Additionally, I am holding Master and Doctorate Degrees in prosthodontics and working as a part-time lecturer in removable prosthodontics, Misr International University (MIU).
- Accordingly, I am teaching and making state of the art designs, natural looking and comfortable removable porsthesi ss: dental stents, complete and partial dentures, immediate dentures, over-dentures, implant-supported prosthetics …etc.
- Meanwhile, I am a well certified and experienced Consultant on Sports Dentistry, a very rare dental specialty with over 30 years of experience. I am proud to be the 40th on the world on getting the Fellowship of the Academy of Sports Dentistry (FASD), Illinois-USA.
- I believe with proper management, in both general public and private dental practice; application of sports dentistry, neuromuscular dentistry and in particular rehabilitation of Tempro Mandibular Joint disorders (TMD), resulted in approximately 30 % increase of new patients and about 40% increase in old patients’ needs resulting in tremendous increase in total income.
- On the other hand, as an avid researcher, I am working on some researches backed by my publications and presentations that had been presented in Egypt, USA, Canada and Switzerland.
- Recently, I have almost succeeded in fabricating new modalities of custom-made athletic mouthguards and performance enhancing appliances.
