Oral Ecology and Inflammation
Insights into biofilm ecology and inflammatory processes are central to oral disease control and healing processes. We strive to develop this understanding for the ultimate good of the public.
What We Do
We investigate oral biofilms, host inflammatory responses, and tissue healing processes to develop better strategies for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of oral diseases.
Who We Are
We are a multidisciplinary research team bringing together experts in cariology, periodontology, pedodontics, oral microbiology, biostatistics and epidemiology.
Meet one of our researchers:
Sebastian Schlafer
Professor
Meet the professor whose research on dental biofilm creates a new understanding of caries and provides opportunities for more targeted approaches to caries control.
