Her main research interests are development of indigenous intracanal drug delivery system, study the structural changes in dentin following carious process, endodontic therapy and radiation therapy, development of novel material for restoration of teeth, evaluation of two regenerative protocols (GTR and Platelet Rich Fibrin) for the management of endo-perio lesions, retreatment of failed root canal cases and spreading the use of a multipurpose drape (patented) for the protection of patients and ease of the doctor during dental procedures.
