About

Mahsa Amanabi is a rising researcher in preventive dentistry and oral health science, with a focused interest in optimizing dental hygiene practices. Her most-cited work, "Effects of brushing duration on the efficacy of dental plaque removal: An in vitro study" (2023, 10 citations), provides critical insights into the mechanical efficiency of power toothbrushes. By systematically evaluating varying brushing times on a typodont model, Amanabi identified the optimal duration required for effective plaque removal, directly informing evidence-based recommendations for daily oral care. This study addresses a fundamental yet under-researched question in dental public health, bridging the gap between consumer habits and clinical efficacy. Her work has implications for both dental professionals and patients, emphasizing the importance of brushing time in preventing caries and periodontal disease. While early in her career, Amanabi’s contributions demonstrate a commitment to translational research that improves everyday oral hygiene outcomes. Her findings are already being cited in guidelines and subsequent studies on brushing behavior, marking her as a promising voice in the field of dental biomaterials and preventive care.
