Boaz Arzi

Boaz Arzi serves as Professor of Dentistry and Oral Surgery within the Department of Surgical and Radiological Sciences at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. His academic foundation includes a residency-training program in dentistry and oral surgery at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine and a two-year fellowship in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at UC Davis, establishing his dual expertise in clinical veterinary dentistry and biomedical engineering applications.

His educational credentials comprise:

• Residency in Dentistry and Oral Surgery, UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine
• Fellowship in Biomedical Engineering, UC Davis

Dr. Arzi's research program integrates veterinary clinical practice with engineering principles, focusing on oral pathologies across diverse species including companion animals, wildlife, and zoo specimens. His work critically examines temporomandibular joint disorders, inflammatory oral conditions, tumor biology, and regenerative approaches for mineralized tissues. This comparative methodology bridges species-specific dental challenges with translational therapeutic development, particularly emphasizing immunomodulation strategies and advanced imaging techniques for diagnostic precision.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a consistent trajectory toward species-comparative oral pathology research, with significant emphasis on feline inflammatory diseases, canine tumor epidemiology, and wildlife dental anatomy. His engineering-informed approach drives innovation in controlled drug delivery systems for tissue regeneration and advanced imaging modalities for anatomical identification, demonstrating a unique convergence of veterinary medicine and biomedical engineering to address complex oral surgical challenges.

Dr. Arzi maintains active scholarly engagement as Chief Editor for Veterinary Dentistry and Oromaxillofacial Surgery at Frontiers in Veterinary Science, reflecting his leadership in the discipline. His editorial contributions include 45 total engagements comprising 3 edited research topics, 34 edited publications, and 8 reviewed publications.

While specific details regarding graduate student mentorship and grant funding are not documented in the available materials, his extensive publication record (198 total publications) and significant research impact (264,782 publication views and 52,060 downloads) indicate substantial scholarly influence. His laboratory work appears centered within the Department of Surgical and Radiological Sciences, leveraging interdisciplinary collaborations between veterinary clinical teams and biomedical engineering researchers to advance oral surgical techniques and regenerative therapies.
