Dr. Yasmin Osman Latib

Yasmin Osman Latib is a researcher in prosthodontics with a focus on dental materials and oral microbiology. Her work centers on the interaction between microbial pathogens and denture base resins, contributing to a deeper understanding of infection persistence in prosthetic dentistry. Her scholarship engages clinically relevant challenges in managing denture-related infections.

Her published study in the International Journal of Prosthodontics investigates the penetration and post-disinfection viability of Candida albicans within polymethyl methacrylate denture resin. The findings highlight the ability of fungal cells to infiltrate denture materials and remain viable despite disinfection, offering important implications for the management of denture stomatitis and material replacement strategies.

Based on the limited available publications at present, her research demonstrates strengths in experimental design, microscopy-based analysis, and clinically oriented inquiry. The work contributes to infection control protocols in prosthodontics and supports improved therapeutic approaches for patients with recurrent denture-associated conditions.
