Center Mission: Research at UCD School of Dentistry is a vital component to our
mission. We are focused on both basic science and applied areas
of research that address issues related to dental science, oral health
and disease, and craniofacial biology. Areas of research include
these broad areas: Developmental biology of the craniofacial
region, cell and molecular biology of the oral facial tissues, Oral
pathology, neoplastic development, neuroscience which includes neuropathic
and dental pain, Development of polymers and other dental material
