Peer-reviewed papers. Check any of them.
42 papers open a DOI or PubMed record. The other 25 are older Pakistani-journal papers that predate DOI assignment. Each was searched in Crossref and PubMed and has no online record, so it is listed as a plain citation. Nothing on this page is a link that does not resolve.


Ten papers, and why they mattered.
I was asked for my most important papers and one plain-English sentence on what each showed. These are my own words, not a summary written for me.
“I have described a standardised and reproducible method for studying pulpitis in an animal model, which reduces the chances of variation in methodology affecting the results.”
“This is novel work where our team show that dental pulp stem cells can be used to treat burn injuries of the skin.”
“The first randomised controlled trial from Pakistan to be published in Dental Traumatology. We showed that bulk-fill composite is better for splinting loose teeth affected by dental trauma.”
“Based on my doctoral research. Scientific evidence was provided for the first time for the presence of receptors responsible for detecting fungal pathogens in the immune cells of the dental pulp.”
“A comparison of the errors made by house officers when they performed with either older root canal instruments or the newer ones. The results may help policy makers make informed decisions for better patient outcomes.”
“A scientific link was established for the first time between anaemia in a child and a lack of a certain molecule in saliva, which resulted in increased dental caries in anaemic children.”
“This review paper not only proposed a new classification for making access cavities for root canals, it also provided clear evidence that very conservative and small access cavities should be avoided.”
“This was my first paper in the prestigious Journal of Endodontics, and also the first original article by any Pakistani author based in Pakistan in this journal.”
“This paper has been cited more than 200 times already. In it we showed the hurdles faced by students of Pakistan during COVID-19.”
“Based on my FCPS thesis. We showed that there is a drill-less, painless method to remove dental decay. Although it is slow, it may not require anaesthesia.”
