About us
The Dental School’s research mission is to act to address health inequalities in line with the University of Plymouth's mission of advancing knowledge and transforming lives through education and research.
This is embedded within the context that oral health is a key domain of general health and that our school is primary care based, which is the setting in which the overwhelming majority of dental care is provided within the UK.
Specific areas of research interest within our group include systematic reviews, research priority setting methodology and clinical decision making in a dental environment.
One of our key areas of research interest is in inequalities in oral health including oral cancer and evidence-based dentistry.
