Dr. Ebrahim Patel

Ebrahim Patel is a dental researcher affiliated with the University of the Witwatersrand, contributing to scholarship in endodontics, orthodontics, and dental biomaterials. His work is closely linked to clinical practice and dental education, reflecting engagement with both patient outcomes and curriculum development within oral health sciences.

His research centers on endodontic techniques, biomaterials, and treatment safety, with studies examining root canal instrumentation, solvent interactions, and complications such as sodium hypochlorite toxicity. He has also explored the translation of dental biomaterials from laboratory settings to clinical use, highlighting practical challenges in implementation.

More recent work extends into orthodontics, including investigations into clear aligner therapies for Class II correction in growing patients. Across publications, Patel demonstrates a focus on improving treatment quality, evaluating educational interventions, and advancing evidence-based dental care through clinically relevant research.
