Dr. Fatien Al-Naqshabandi is a dentist and lecturer at the College of Dentistry, University of Duhok and Nawroz University, Iraq. She holds a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from Hawler Medical University, a Master’s degree in Dental Materials from the University of Sheffield, and a PhD in Conservative Dentistry from the University of Duhok.

Her expertise encompasses adhesive restorative dentistry, dental biomaterials, minimally invasive restorations, and digital workflows. Her clinical and academic interests include bonded ceramic overlays, endocrowns, posterior composite restorations, and composite injection techniques.

Her major achievements include completing doctoral research on modified endocrown designs, integrating finite element analysis with laboratory evaluation of fracture resistance and restoration fit. 

Dr. Al-Naqshabandi teaches Dental Materials Science and provides practical instruction in Conservative Dentistry. Her research examines how restorative materials, preparation geometry, and adhesive protocols influence biomechanical performance and clinical outcomes. She contributes to the academic community through undergraduate teaching, research supervision, scientific publications, conference presentations, and sharing clinically relevant approaches that connect laboratory evidence with restorative practice.
