I am a Prosthodontist and academician serving as Associate Professor in the Department of Prosthodontics and Crown & Bridge and Vice Principal (Research & Innovation) at Christian Dental College & Hospital, Ludhiana, India. My academic and clinical work focuses on advancing evidence-based prosthodontics through innovation in digital workflows, implant prosthodontics, and full-arch rehabilitation.
My research interests include digital impressions and CAD-CAM technologies, implant-supported prostheses, full-mouth rehabilitation, artificial intelligence in evidence synthesis, systematic review methodology, and emerging technologies in dental education. I am particularly interested in evaluating the accuracy and clinical applicability of digital techniques compared with conventional protocols, as well as exploring the role of large language models and digital tools in research appraisal and knowledge translation.
I actively mentor postgraduate students and collaborate on interdisciplinary research projects aimed at improving clinical outcomes and strengthening research culture in dental institutions. My scholarly contributions include original research, systematic reviews, umbrella reviews, and bibliometric analyses that contribute to contemporary prosthodontic literature.
My goal is to integrate clinical excellence, digital innovation, and robust research methodology to enhance patient-centered prosthodontic care and academic scholarship.
