Research Interests:

Ethnic variability of morphologic, odontometric and occlusal parameters in the primary and permanent dentition.

Abstracts of Current Research:

  • Skeletal pattern of Jewish adolescents of Kurd origin: (with Brin I and Ben-Bassat Y).
    Cephalograms of 20 Jewish adolescents of Kurd origin with normal occlusion were measured and compared with another Jewish ethnic group, with accepted American norms and with non Jewish Iranian population. The two Jewish groups as well as the non-Jewish Iranian population were similar while the accepted norms were found to be different.
