Dileep Sharma

Dileep Sharma is a researcher affiliated with James Cook University, focusing on interdisciplinary research at the intersection of oral health, biomedical engineering, and public health. His work spans biomaterials for dental implants, epidemiological studies on oral cancers, and the impact of medications such as bisphosphonates on bone health. He collaborates with international teams on topics like cannabinoid therapeutics for pain management and sustainability practices in dental clinics.

Key research interests include:

• Oral cancer epidemiology and regional disparities
• Biomaterials for dental implants and their biocompatibility
• Impact of medications on oral health (e.g., bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis)
• Sustainability in healthcare waste management

His recent publications analyze trends in oral cancer across OECD countries, predict survival outcomes using nomograms, and investigate the efficacy of materials like xylitol against periodontal pathogens. He also explores virtual reality applications in dental education and patient management.

Awards and grants are not explicitly listed in the provided texts, but his extensive publication record reflects sustained contributions to dental and biomedical research.
