Oral diseases rank amongst the most prevalent global health conditions, affecting 3.5 billion people.

The Oral and Dental Medicine theme brings together the expertise of the UCL Eastman Dental Institute, the largest institute in Europe for postgraduate education and research in oral health and disease and the Eastman Dental Hospital, one of the UK's largest secondary health care providers for oral and dental disease.

We are experts in running clinical trials in oral health and disease and lead an exciting research programme of experimental and translational medicine.

We have an ambitious programme of novel diagnostic and therapeutic translational research in a bid to find solutions to several of the current oral disease challenges that effect people of all ages.

The Oral and Dental Medicine theme focusses on three sub-themes:

  • Novel diagnostics and therapeutics for oral and dental disease
  • Oral cancer and oral complications of cancer therapies
  • Multimorbidity of oral diseases and systemic disorders
