Newcastle University
We normally offer research supervision in: oral health services research and health economics; oral health and nutritional challenges in the elderly; pathobiology of periodontal disease; genetics of tooth development; oral inflammatory disease and diabetes; cellular mechanisms within gut and bacteria; and biomaterials surface science.
The University of Manchester
Research within prosthodontics comprises the diagnosis, management and treatment of missing or worn teeth using fixed and removable prostheses, including implant-supported or stabilised restorations.
Queen Mary, University of London
The School offers research degrees within the various Institutes.
The University of Manchester
PhD study within the School is a challenging yet rewarding experience. Flexibility is allowed within the parameters of the study to allow the research to evolve and instigate findings not envisaged at the outset of the work. This is complimented by a dedicated PhD training structure which provides critical skills training, personal development and progression milestones.
University of Birmingham
This theme area includes dental public health, behavioural sciences, primary care, and orthodontics. It provides the opportunity to work with clinicians to research the effect of new technologies or materials at the primary care interface. It is also concerned with epidemiological work and access to oral and dental health care.
University of Geneva
The doctoral programme in dental medicine allows a deepened reserach in the field of dentistry.
Kings College London
Research in the Dental Institute is organised in research groups that cross the boundaries of traditional disciplines: (Biomaterials, Biomimetics & Biophotonics; Cell & Developmental Biology; Infection; Mucosal Biology; Oral Health, Workforce & Education.
University of Dundee
The Dental School is pursuing research in a variety of fields, ranging from the fundamental sciences to epidemiology. This diversity reflects today's requirements to understand dental conditions, the incidence of oral diseases and the provision of effective treatments. Four Research Teams and one Dental Research Unit exist to support research in areas of strength. Research projects leading to higher degrees are available across a broad range of dental disciplines. Candidates register initially for a higher degree and dependent upon progress after one year it will be confirmed as either PhD or MDSc. Dundee Dental School was given a Grade 5 rating (on a scale of 1 to 5) for its research in the 2001 UK Research Assessment Exercise, the highest grade in Scotland.
University of Bristol
In 2008 the School of Oral and Dental Sciences again performed highly in the government's Research Assessment Exercise (RAE). The results rank Bristol as one of the top five centres of internationally acclaimed dental research in the UK (Times Higher Education ranking).
University of Birmingham
This theme area includes oral biology and pathology, restorative and children's dentistry, and periodontology. It brings a range of molecular, cellular and physical approaches to bear on its strategy to understand fundamental aspects of injury to various oral tissues, novel forms of their diagnosis and new approaches to tissue repair and regeneration.
The University of Manchester
Research within dental public health centres around the Oral Health Unit (OHU) - an academically-independent national group set up to develop and deliver high quality applied dental research in primary care. Established within the National Primary Care Research and Development Centre (NPCRDC), the aim of the unit is to deliver research which will inform dental policy, service commissioning and clinical practice.
Cardiff University
This programme offers knowledge, training and expertise for a career in clinical or scientific research.
