Cariology Endodontology Pedodontology Microbiology

Diseases of the Dental Tissues and their Prevention


Research objectives
The research programme of the Department of Cariology Endodontology Pedodontology Microbiology covers physico-chemical, biochemical, microbiological and clinical aspects of enamel, dentin and root caries and infection of the root canal.

These aspects are studied by means of various intra-oral and in vitro models which simulate the natural processes in the oral environment and which are designed to evaluate the effects of preventive measures and restorative materials and procedures, thereby covering the field of research from the molecular level up to in situ studies.
