Research
Research is integral to the College of Dentistry at Ohio State. Not only does our research contribute to the oral health of people throughout the world, but it also provides students a critically important dimension beyond classroom and clinical education.
Our faculty researchers receive support from the National Institutes of Health – one of the nation's most prestigious research funding institutions. As part of the most comprehensive health sciences centers in the country, with colleges of dentistry, medicine, nursing, optometry, pharmacy, public health, and veterinary medicine all on the same campus, we are committed to collaborative basic, clinical and translational research.
