Some studies focus in particular on microbiological factors importance for the development of juvenile periodontal destruction and general conditions or diseases significance for the development of caries, and disturbances of the mineralisation of teeth. Project data are obtained partly from existing registers and partly through individual data collection. Health services research constitutes another aspect of the department s research. The objective is to describe and study organisational aspects of oral health care delivery aiming to identify factors of importance for the utilisation of oral health care services and the effect these services may have on the population s oral health. Data are primarily obtained from existing registers.
Some projects focus on dental phobia in particular.
Work is undergoing to develop and test statistical methods that are more appropriate than the hitherto used methods because of the non-interdependence due to clustering of many dental data. Finally, systematic reviews are carried out as part of the international Cochrane collaboration aiming to promote evidence-based dentistry. Staff Professor Sven Poulsen, lic.
