Dental and Oral Health

If you’re interested in taking your existing expertise in Dental and Oral Health into a postgraduate research degree, University of Portsmouth is the perfect place to do it.

We’re looking at how clinicians work with patients from different demographics to promote oral health and prevent disease.We’re also addressing the growing demand for more complex dental treatment and maintenance among an ageing population, by helping to both develop new operative and learning tools for dentistry – such as the use of Teledentistry in dental education. We are also investing in new restorative material development through advanced 3D printing techniques and how these behave in the oral environment.

As a postgraduate research degree student with us, you’ll make your own contribution to our pioneering work, and play your own part in turning our research into impact.
