Lines of investigation
1. Clinical Dentistry, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Applications: Researchers in this area address the most prevalent oral pathologies in relation to their etiology, diagnosis and treatment, using evidence-based dentistry and technological applications.
2.- Biological, molecular and genetic bases of oromaxillofacial diseases: in this line, researchers try to elucidate the molecular, genetic and cellular mechanisms of pathologies and traits that affect the oral and maxillofacial territory.
3.- Applied oral microbiology and immunology: the academics attached to this line work in the study of the virulence mechanisms of pathogens in prevalent diseases in the oral cavity, as well as the immune response to them and the host-host relationship.
4.- Epidemiology and Dental Anthropology: in this last line we find the members of the Faculty whose sub-lines consider the anthropological bases of dentistry as well as epidemiological aspects of public health.
