PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Since 1995, I have owned a specialist day-care centre exclusively devoted to treating maxillofacial cases. The clinic has 3 operatories , 2 dental chairs, and 1 operating theatre. Work done encompasses trauma cases, oral pathology and tumours, orthognathic surgery, and surgical exodontia. The daily OPD is an average of 25 patients, and operated cases are from 10-15.
Over the last 25 years, the approximate number of surgeries done are:
9000+ disimpactions
800+ fractures
500+ cystic lesions
275+ orthognathic cases
15000+ surgical exodontia.
I pioneered the transition of many complex procedures from traditional hospital settings to dental specialty clinics, which offered much better patient compliance and favourable treatment outcomes.
Designed key surgical instruments which are in the process of acquiring patents:
Tongue depressor for disabled children and adults.
Modified retractor for cheek retraction.
20 inch, thin beaked, 45 degree angled needle holder for ease in suturing posterior areas of oral cavity.
Arrowhead pointed straight elevator for root piece extractions.

Dental Implants
Started my dental implant practice in 1997.
One of the first practitioners in Mumbai to learn complex grafting surgery needed for complete rehabilitation from South Korea and the USA.
Started lateral window sinus lift, block bone augmentation, and zygoma implants in my own practice 14 years ago and as a consultant implant surgeon to over 45 dental clinic in Mumbai and other cities.
Instrumental in initiating the use of Piezo surgical unit in all surgeries
Appointed key opinion leader for Mectron Piezo 5.
Using Diode & CO2 laser for all soft and hard tissue procedures for the past 9 years.
One of the early proponents of PRF (plasma rich fibrin) in implant surgery, as taught by Dr. Joseph Choukroun.

Training Programs
Through my training programs, I have been spreading awareness and competency in oral and maxillofacial surgeries for the past 5 years. I currently run 3 modules:
Fundamentals of Oral Surgery (registered trademark): 3 day course for mature young practitioners.
Surgitrain: 1 day course for interns and fresh practitioners.
Surgical Principles in Implantology: 2 day program covering advanced implant surgical techniques.

These programs are conducted once every 6 to 8 weeks in Tier 2 cities in every state of India. They involve lectures, videos, live surgery demonstrations on patients, and hands-on practice on pig jaws and models. Since the last 4 years, I have conducted them across 12 states.
