Specialized Aesthetic Rehabilitations: Expertly executing complex aesthetic cases using the Injection Moulding Technique—the core focus of my postgraduate thesis. I deliver predictable, high-aesthetic, and minimally invasive results through advanced composite resin management.
• Versatile Direct Restorative Techniques: Highly skilled in a comprehensive range of direct restorations, including free-hand layering and index-guided (template-assisted) techniques, tailoring the approach to each clinical scenario.
• Digital Workflow & CAD/CAM: Full proficiency in the digital dental workflow, including intraoral scanning and the design and fabrication of CAD/CAM chair-side restorations.
• Minimal Invasive Philosophy: Implementing a conservative clinical approach that prioritizes the maximum preservation of natural tooth structure through high-performance adhesive protocols.
• Advanced Clinical Research: Applying deep theoretical and practical knowledge gained from my ongoing clinical, in-vitro, and in-vivo research at Hacettepe University to provide evidence-based, cutting-edge treatments.
• Functional Smile Design: Combining artistic vision with occlusal stability to create functional and long-lasting smile makeovers.
Multidisciplinary Case Management: Collaborating with Periodontology, Orthodontics, and Oral Surgery departments to manage and execute comprehensive full-mouth rehabilitations and complex combined cases.
