Odontology is a branch of science concerned with development, functions and diseases of teeth, jaws, related structures and tissues. The research area involves several scientific disciplines with the aim to increase knowledge that improves people's oral health and functions, to prevent development of diseases and disorders, and to achieve equal health.
A thesis by Mark Lindholm, Umeå University, is praised by the Swedish Dental Association.
Six projects at the Department of Odontology receive one-year project grants via TUA.
