About
A foundation in science.
A focus on what comes next.
I am a professor in the Department of Prosthodontics at Kırıkkale University and the founder of OralPro Tech. My work brings together prosthetic dentistry, dental materials and digital workflows.
Alongside academic research and education, I develop tools that connect restorative design to manufacturing, with a particular interest in CAD/CAM and computational methods.
