About
Hisham Sabbagh is a pioneering orthodontic researcher whose work centers on the biomechanical simulation of tooth movement, with a particular focus on the forces and moments generated during orthodontic treatment. His major contributions revolve around the development and application of the Robot Orthodontic Measurement and Simulation System (ROSS), a novel dynamic setup that precisely measures the mechanical interactions between archwires and teeth. This system has allowed Sabbagh to investigate critical clinical scenarios, such as the risks of orthodontic-induced inflammatory root resorption during tooth intrusion, where forces exceeding 0.5 N can be dangerous. His most cited paper (14 citations) examines initial tooth movement across different archwire systems, while subsequent studies explore segmented intrusion and en-bloc retraction mechanics. Sabbagh’s work is notable for bridging engineering precision with clinical orthodontics, offering quantitative insights that can improve treatment safety and efficacy. His research has been published in high-impact journals, and his innovative use of robotic simulation—including the HOSEA device—positions him as a key figure in advancing evidence-based orthodontic biomechanics.
