The Dentistry Department mainly focuses on applied research with clinical results or responses which are able to confirm or debate the efficiency of clinical materials and techniques.
These results are based on verifications and/or simulations of these materials and techniques which may be already being used but which, at times, are difficult to evaluate within the clinic.
In addition, in the design of the laboratory studies, translational research is strongly taken into account so that the data obtained in the laboratory always has a clinical repercussion. Therefore, the studies are largely clinical or observation studies or clinical trials which are beneficial in ensuring the safe treatment of patients.
Often, in order to obtain objective data, a biological laboratory analysis is required and/or it is necessary to carry out prior translational studies of mechanics and simulations in the laboratory.Team
Research lines
Research projects based on industry agreements.
Dentistry research studies are carried out on the premises of the Clínica Universitario Odontológica (CUO), in the UIC laboratories, or at external research centres where required.
They are developed as part of the activities that make up the master’s, or in a multidisciplinary manner in order to aid other areas.
