Dr. Haitham Sharshar (BDS, MSc Perio-Implant) is a Cairo-based periodontist–implantologist and digital dentistry educator, serving as the Founder and Director of Digital Dentistry Schoology (DDS) and the Owner of Haitham Sharshar Dental Clinic in Egypt. (AASTMT)

Over the past decade, Dr. Sharshar has built a career at the intersection of clinical perio-implant practice and digital workflow education, with a particular emphasis on functional diagnosis, digital occlusion, and technology-driven treatment planning. He is repeatedly listed in official event and speaker profiles as an official trainer for Zebris jaw motion systems and MyoWise digital EMG, an ICTP Trainer with exocad, and a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) for Shining 3D and Alliedstar.

Professional roles and appointments

In addition to leading cadworkflow.online company in partnership with DDS education academy www.ddschoology.com  Dr. Sharshar is publicly described as holding several roles across international education and industry-facing digital dentistry initiatives. These include:

• Scientific Coordinator (www.ddschoology.com) and educational program leadership roles connected to DDS training tracks. (egy.idexevent.com)

• Developer/creator of “Facelyzer”, presented in multiple public profiles as part of his digital innovation work. (Dentist Channel Online)

• Board leadership and conference organization, including being listed as Middle East Board Director, International Digital Dental Academy (UK) (2018–2020) and an organizer of the 2nd International Digital Dental Academy Conference. (egy.idexevent.com)

His ResearchGate profile also indexes this publication in his public publication list. (ResearchGate)

Academic background and journey

Dr. Sharshar’s pathway is consistently presented as a clinical-and-technology track: formal dental training followed by specialization and then an expansion into advanced digital systems for diagnosis and workflow control. Public course and speaker bios describe:

• BDS from the University of Modern Science & Arts (MSA). (Practical Implantology)

• MSc in Periodontology from Cairo University, aligning with the “MSc Perio-Implant” credential repeated across multiple event listings and professional bios. (Practical Implantology)

Rather than staying confined to a single lane (clinical practice or software education), Dr. Sharshar’s work has centered on making digital dentistry clinically accountable: not just “pretty CAD,” but digital workflows anchored to jaw motion, muscle activity, occlusal force concepts, and prosthetically driven planning. This focus shows up repeatedly in his public invitations to teach “digital occlusion” and functional diagnosis topics, including a featured event on Digital Occlusion with the JMA Optic device hosted by AASTMT. (AASTMT)

Areas of focus

Across his public teaching and event roles, Dr. Sharshar is most strongly associated with:

• Digital occlusion and functional diagnosis, including jaw motion tracking and precision planning workflows. (AASTMT)

• Perio-implantology in a digital workflow environment, with an emphasis on predictable planning and execution. (AASTMT)

• CAD/CAM training and ecosystem integration, particularly around exocad education tracks and modular learning pathways. (AASTMT)

• Education program design and coordination, including diploma-style modules and structured hands-on training delivered in collaboration with universities and conference bodies. (must.edu.eg)

A clear example of his academic–training crossover is his inclusion among the supervising expert group for a Digital Dentistry Diploma module hosted by Misr University for Science and Technology (MUST) in collaboration with the University of Genoa, where the program specifically emphasized full-mouth rehabilitation and occlusion principles and included hands-on work with devices such as Zebris and MyoWise.
