Research/Areas of Interest

Dr. Sachdeo's research interests predominantly lie in looking at intra-oral biofilm formation and development in the edentulous population. He is interested in studying the influence of bulk fluid, different surfaces, location and genetic background of individuals on the growth, colonization and re-colonization of bacterial biofilms on soft-tissues and hard-tissues (dentures) of the edentate. His hope is to eventually identify the co-relation between the oral microbiota found in the edentulous and various systemic diseases for the same population.
