KARACHI: In a remarkable recognition of academic excellence, Dr. Mehvish Khan, Senior Registrar in Prosthodontics at the Sindh Institute of Oral Health Sciences (SIOHS), Jinnah Sindh Medical University (JSMU), has achieved a prestigious milestone. Her 2020 publication titled "Analysis of Different Characteristics of Smile" has been officially recognized as the most accessed and most cited article of the past decade by the British Dental Journal Open (BDJ Open).
This groundbreaking study, which examines critical variables in smile aesthetics and facial harmony, has resonated with dental professionals and researchers globally, reinforcing JSMU’s position on the international research map.
A milestone for Pakistani dental academia
Dr. Mehvish Khan’s achievement is a testament to her clinical insight and academic dedication. The recognition by a leading UK-based open-access journal reflects her ability to translate practical expertise into high-impact dental research. This accomplishment not only highlights her individual excellence but also underscores the research-driven vision of JSMU’s leadership.
Prof. Sajid Hanif, Principal of SIOHS, and Prof. Muhammad Khalil, Dean of Dentistry, extended their heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Mehvish, calling it a proud moment for the institute and its growing research legacy.
A rising benchmark for dental research in Pakistan
The success of this study is a strong indicator of the growing emphasis on quality research at JSMU. As the global dental field increasingly relies on evidence-based practices, contributions like Dr. Mehvish’s work on smile analysis are critical in shaping clinical protocols, especially in Prosthodontics and cosmetic dentistry.
With increasing citations and visibility, her work is expected to influence both academic curricula and treatment planning approaches in dental institutions worldwide.
