Research Interests

Dr Emami’s interdisciplinary and practice-relevant research program has the ultimate goal of decreasing the burden of poor oral health in the Canadian population. Her research program comprises three themes at 3 levels—the individual, the community and the population as a whole. 

Intervention: Clinical trials conducted under this theme test the effectiveness of prosthodontic interventions in edentate individuals.

Access: This theme focuses on rural and remote populations and uses mixed methods and participatory action research to broaden understanding of the social and spatial pathways of oral health disparities, and to develop innovative strategies and interventions targeting oral health prevention and promotion of these communities.

Impact: Epidemiological studies to provide causal explanations on the role of oral health in general health. 

To conduct this research program, Dr. Emami has adopted an integrated knowledge translation approach by building partnerships with an inter-disciplinary team of researchers, health care and oral health care providers, key community stakeholders and policy-makers.

Areas of expertise:

  • Intervention: prosthodontic treatment, innovative intervention
  • Access: access to care for rural, remote and Indigenous communities
  • Impact:  Impact of oral health on general health
