Babak Sarrafpour

Biography

Dr. BABAK SARRAFPOUR is currently working as a Lecturer in the Department of Department of Dentistry, University of Sydney , Australia. His research interests includes Dr Babak Sarrafpour’s research focuses on the role of mechanical stress in tooth development and oral and maxillofacial abnormities. He has investigated the role of functional bone strain for cyst expansion and cortication using a three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) model of a simulated cyst in the mandible. This study has shown that predominant compression of the soft tissue capsule surrounding bony cysts contributes to cyst expansion. Furthermore, it was found that functional stress becomes concentrated in the bone immediately adjacent to the soft tissue cyst capsule, with the effect of driving bone formation and cortication, a thickening of bone seen in radiographs but until Dr Sarrafpour’s work was unexplained.. He /she is serving as an editorial member and reviewer of several international reputed journals. Dr. BABAK SARRAFPOUR is the member of many international affiliations. He/ She has successfully completed his Administrative responsibilities. He /she has authored of many research articles/books related to Dr Babak Sarrafpour’s research focuses on the role of mechanical stress in tooth development and oral and maxillofacial abnormities.
