My research has focused on educational domains within dental education and surveying dental school administrators on their comprehension and their views. I also focus on exploring empathy in dental students. Additional work explores tooth loss and malnutrition. Most recently I was involved in a study to determine what oral rinse might best protect the dentist from COVID-19 during dental treatment. My next project will review retrospectively the five-year outcomes of indirect pulp cap procedures performed at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine by students.
