Research Activities of the Department of Surgical Dentistry

The main research areas of the Department of Surgical Dentistry include “Development of Treatment and Rehabilitation Approaches for Patients with Inflammatory and Traumatic Injuries of the Maxillofacial Region,” “Reparative Surgery,” and “Optimization of Postoperative Wound Healing and Healing of Jaw Bone Defects.”

Since 2011, the Department staff have participated in 10 scientific and technical programs. These activities have resulted in the publication of 60 scientific articles, including 20 articles in journals recognized by the Committee for Quality Assurance in Science and Higher Education, and 5 articles in international journals with a non-zero impact factor. Department staff have delivered 50 presentations at congresses and scientific and practical conferences, introduced 17 research outcomes into practice, and obtained 5 patents.

In recent years, five Master’s theses have been successfully defended at the Department by M. Zhaksylykova, E. Ilyasova, A. Balqan, E. Borikhan, and S. Kobekov, as well as three PhD dissertations by Y.A. Menchisheva, M.A. Mugalbayeva, and Zh.U. Yerkibayeva.
