Dr. Zeeshan Sheikh is a Clinical Scientist in Periodontics, Assistant Professor-Tenure-Track in the departments of Applied Oral Sciences (AOS) and Dental Clinical Sciences (DCS) at the Faculty of Dentistry-鶹ý. Dr. Sheikh is a Fellow of The Royal College of Dentists of Canada (RCDC) in the field of Periodontics. Dr. Sheikh was trained as a dental clinician and a biomaterial scientist with clinical and research degrees of Dip.Dh, BDS, MSc, PhD and M.Perio in the fields of biomaterials research, clinical dentistry and surgical periodontics and implantology. He has more than 6 years of clinical experience in private and hospital-based dentistry. After graduating as a dentist, he worked as a dental surgeon for 2 years before proceeding to obtain an MSc degree in dental and biomaterials from Queen Mary, University of London (QMUL) with distinction. He obtained a PhD from McGill University, Faculty of Dentistry (2010-2014). He completed 2 Post-Doctoral Fellowships at Faculty of Dentistry, University of Toronto, The Mt. Sinai Hospital (Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute) in Toronto, Canada and The Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto (2015-2019). He completed his residency in Periodontics & Implant Surgery from 鶹ý (2019-2022) and also obtained a Masters of Periodontics degree (M.Perio).

In addition to delivering several conference talks, presentations and CE courses both locally in Canada and internationally, Dr. Sheikh has several research publications, reviews, book chapters, case-reports and editorials in peer-reviewed and other journals. He has also co-edited three textbooks on Oral Biology and Dental Biomaterials. He is also the recipient of several research awards and prizes. Being trained extensively as a clinician scientist in institutions like the Baqai Medical University, Queen Mary University of London, McGill University, University of Toronto and 鶹ý, his research expertise lies in developing novel biomaterial options for bone grafting and alveolar ridge augmentation applications. He has in the past and continues to collaborate extensively with industry and was recently the President of the CADR-NCOHR NSRG and was also the representative for 鶹ý on the NCOHR communications committee. He is currently the Chair for the NCOHR-Knowledge Exchange Working Group.

Dr. Zeeshan Sheikh’s career is an amalgamation of the skills acquired during the MSc, PhD, Post-Doctoral training and Periodontics Specialty Training to allow the carrying out of funded collaborative translational research. Dr. Sheikh aims to continue working as a clinician-scientist in the fields of Periodontics and Biomaterials and become a contributing member of the academic community in Canada.
