The Department of Advanced Oral Sciences and Therapeutics seeks to bring together the clinical and scientific expertise of endodontics, periodontics, dental hygiene, prosthodontics, biomaterials and tissue engineering to challenge existing barriers to oral health.  We do this through the alignment of shared expertise and scientific inquiry with clinical care and education.
