A strong and growing research program provides another dimension beyond classroom and clinical education. In the 2004 fiscal year, the College received $5.6 million in external research funding. Extensive support comes from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation - our nation’s top two most prestigious research funding institutions.
Students and faculty members participate in both clinical and laboratory research. Faculty researchers have expertise in such fields as: gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis), tooth decay (caries), tooth stain, plaque and dentin hypersensitivity (pain).
Research is integral to the College. A dedicated clinical research center facility accommodates clinical studies. A research-focused combined DDS/PhD degree program is also available.
