Advanced Dental Biomaterials

Advanced Dental Biomaterials is an invaluable reference for researchers and clinicians within the biomedical industry and academia. The book can be used by both an experienced researcher/clinician learning about other biomaterials or applications that may be applicable to their current research or as a guide for a new entrant into the field who needs to gain an understanding of the primary challenges, opportunities, most relevant biomaterials, and key applications in dentistry.

He has authored more than 100 publications available in Scopus, including review papers, research papers, systematic reviews and meta-analysis, book chapters, editorials, news magazine reports, and scoping studies. He participates in editorial activities with the 'European Journal of Dentistry' (EJD); 'Journal of Oral Research' (JOralRes); 'Journal of Dentistry'; 'Materials'; 'Molecules'; 'Current Issues in Molecular Biology'; 'Polymer'; 'International Journal of Molecular Sciences' (IJMS); and the 'European Journal of Dental Research and Biomaterials'. He has edited two other books with Elsevier: 'Advanced Dental Biomaterials' and 'Dental Implants: Materials, Coatings, Surface Modifications and Interfaces with Oral Tissues'. He is also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) and a Member of The Faculty of Dental Trainers (MDTFEd) of the Faculty of Dental Surgery at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. He was also honored with the Membership of the Faculty of Dental Surgery from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow (MFDS RCPS). Dr. Shariq Najeeb completed his clinical dentistry training at the University of Karachi, Pakistan, in 2010 and his master’s in dental materials from the University of Sheffield in 2013. During his master’s, he worked on developing a novel electrospun guided tissue regeneration membrane for periodontal applications. In addition, he has published more than 40 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. His research has focused on novel approaches in treating periodontitis, endodontics, dental implants, biomaterials for tissue regeneration, and data synthesis and quality assessment of dental literature. He has served as the director of the course in dental materials at Al-Farabi Colleges (Saudi Arabia). At present, he is the director of the Institute of Collaborative Dental Education and Research and an adjunct professor of dentistry at Western University, Canada. Assistant Professor in the Department of Plant Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan. Well known researcher in the field of medicinal plants, plant biodiversity; founder of the first nutraceutical and traditional medicinal plants and biofuel/ biomass energy laboratories at Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad Pakistan. He has produced an extensive survey of honey pollen analysis (melissopalynology) to determine the bee floras of South Asian honeys. He has published 23 international books, chapters in the field of medicinal plant biodiversity and energy technology; 400 research papers with high impact factor, above 7500 citations repute.
