Sven Erik Nørholt

Growth and development of the dentofacial region is a key factor in good oral health. We investigate clinical application of novel surgical techniques to correct congenital or acquired deformities of the facial skeleton. We strive to obtain high quality of treatment with minimal risk of sequelae to surgery.

Thomas Klit Pedersen

We operate a clinic for orofacial anomalies and our research domains focus on growth and progress of abnormal development, specifically in juvenile arthritis and other growth disturbances implying diagnosis, basic etiology, morbidity, imaging, timing and effect of orthopedic treatment and other interventions.

Associate Professors

Peter Bangsgaard Stoustrup

Various autoimmune and degenerative conditions can adversely affect facial growth and function. Our research activities focus on diagnosis, pathophysiology, and development of interdisciplinary management strategies for conditions like juvenile arthritis and idiopathic condylar resorption.

Ruben Pauwels

My research involves the use of novel technology in the clinical workflow, with a major focus on artificial intelligence (AI) through deep learning. Applications include image enhancement, automated image processing (e.g. segmentation), lesion detection, and risk assessment for treatment planning.

Assistant Professors and Postdocs

Susanna Botticelli

Oro-facial clefts significantly affect growth and development of the jaws and their function. We focus on diagnosis of cleft type and severity and on assessment of treatment methods. We aim to inform the choice of surgical techniques and sequence and later orthodontic and speech therapy according to patient’s individual needs.
