Using Simulation to Improve Dental Implants
Dr. Wadhwani's research has shown that extrusion of excess cement at the crown-abutment margin during the seating of a cement-retained crown over an implant is a major cause of peri-implant disease. Recent advances in simulation are now enabling an increased level of insight into the details of the cement ow in these complex systems, opening the door for addressing the potential health issues associated with them and developing innovative implant designs.

In-Vitro Analysis of Planktonic and Biofilm Growth
There is little consensus on the most appropriate cement to use when restoring a cement-retained, implant- supported restoration. One consideration should be the interaction of pathogenic oral bacteria with restorative cements. Dr. Wadhwani and colleagues developed this study, published in the book Dental Implant Complications: Etiology, Prevention, and Treatment, to determine how oral bacteria associated with peri-implant disease grow in the presence of implant cements.
