Dr. Amany Osama Kassem is a dental public health researcher whose work bridges clinical dentistry, population health, and healthcare quality improvement. Her academic training culminated in an MSc in Dental Public Health from King Faisal University, completed with first-class honors and the highest cumulative GPA in her cohort. Her research profile reflects a strong commitment to evidence-based practice, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the translation of research findings into practical improvements in oral healthcare delivery. Her primary research interests include oral hygiene practices among hospitalized patients, hospital dentistry, dental public health, oral health promotion, nutritional epidemiology, and the role of healthcare providers in maintaining patient oral care. A central focus of her work is improving oral health outcomes in vulnerable and institutionalized populations through policy-relevant research and preventive strategies. This is exemplified by her recent Q1 publication in the Journal of Clinical Medicine (2025), which examined oral hygiene practices of hospitalized patients in public and private hospitals in Saudi Arabia. The study provides important insights for hospital oral health protocols and interdisciplinary care models, contributing to improved patient safety and quality of care. In addition to hospital-based oral health research, her work extends to broader population health issues. Her publication on vitamin D status among adolescents and young adults highlights the intersection between nutrition, systemic health, and oral health outcomes. She has also contributed to clinical dentistry research through studies on endodontic flare-ups, aiming to enhance treatment outcomes and patient management strategies. Collectively, her publications demonstrate methodological rigor and relevance across public health, clinical, and preventive dentistry domains, with articles indexed in internationally recognized journals. Beyond publications, she has been actively involved in multiple completed and ongoing research projects, reflecting sustained scholarly productivity and engagement. Her research activities are complemented by innovation in academic dissemination, including delivering the first hologram-based research presentation at the College of Dentistry, King Faisal University—an initiative that underscores her interest in modernizing scientific communication and education. Her contributions have been recognized through several academic distinctions, including first place in a research poster competition and the University’s Excellence Ambassadors Award. She collaborates with multidisciplinary research teams across hospitals and academic institutions, strengthening the clinical and public health relevance of her work. As a member of professional dental and research societies, she remains engaged with the global research community. Overall, her research profile reflects a balanced integration of scientific inquiry, innovation, and applied public health impact, with a clear focus on advancing oral healthcare quality, safety, and accessibility through robust research and continuous professional development.
