His research focuses on peri-implantitis, periodontal disease mechanisms, and the intersection of oral health with systemic conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Key areas include laser therapy for implants, immune cell profiling, and patient-reported outcomes. Recent work explores salivary biomarkers in IBD patients and implementation of disease classification systems by dental hygienists.
