Research Focus
Dr. Allahyar Geramy’s research interests are centered around dental biomechanics, particularly the application of finite element analysis (FEA) in orthodontics. His work focuses on understanding the stresses and forces acting on teeth and the surrounding tissues during orthodontic treatment. His pioneering research on alveolar bone resorption, implant-supported restorations, and orthodontic tooth movements has garnered significant attention in the field. Dr. Geramy has explored the impact of orthodontic forces on the periodontal membrane and bone remodeling, contributing to a deeper understanding of tooth movement and retention. His work on implant-assisted restorations, especially the stress distribution around implants and the impact of various treatments on dental health, has been instrumental in advancing the field of orthodontics. Through his research, Dr. Geramy continues to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and clinical application, making significant strides in orthodontic care and dental research.
