About
Dr. Sandra Sarembe is a leading researcher in dental biomechanics and oral hygiene technology, with a focus on optimizing toothbrush design for both cleaning efficacy and tissue safety. Her work bridges mechanical engineering and clinical dentistry, particularly through the development of specialist manual toothbrushes that balance flexibility for plaque removal with force control to prevent overbrushing. In her highly cited 2022 study, "Robot and mechanical testing of a specialist manual toothbrush for cleaning efficacy and improved force control," Dr. Sarembe introduced a novel robotic testing framework to quantify brush performance, demonstrating how tailored bristle stiffness and handle ergonomics can reduce harmful brushing forces while maintaining plaque removal efficiency. This research has garnered 9 citations and is foundational for designing toothbrushes that protect against gingival abrasion and enamel wear. Her contributions are instrumental in advancing evidence-based oral care products, influencing both clinical guidelines and consumer dental health. Dr. Sarembe’s work continues to shape the intersection of materials science, biomechanics, and preventive dentistry, offering practical solutions for everyday oral hygiene.
