Research areas

There are two strong research areas that span the entire life cycle:

• Health promotion work, which involves children/youth, adults, and elderly individuals, with strong connections to epidemiology, social determinants, prevention, and multidisciplinary collaboration.
• Clinical treatment research, which covers children, youth, and adults, focusing on risk assessment, diagnostic treatment, and oral rehabilitation.

Within COO, a wide range of articles are published in international journals within the fields of oral health, odontology, medicine, public health, gerontology, and nursing. These can be accessed via DiVa.
