Paola C. Saponaro works in prosthodontics, the branch of dentistry focused on replacing missing teeth and restoring oral function using devices such as dentures, crowns, and dental implants. Her work covers dental implant success rates and complications, 3D-printed dentures and crowns, denture materials, and clinical case management for patients with complex conditions like cleft palate, ectodermal dysplasia, and Down syndrome. Prospective students would be looking at clinically oriented, case-based and retrospective research rather than laboratory basic science.

Publication output was low and intermittent through the mid-2010s to early 2020s (often 0-1 per year) but has increased notably in 2024-2026, suggesting a recent uptick in activity.
