Epidemiology & Behavioral Research
Epidemiology and behavior research address several areas of dentistry: fluoride issues include the epidemiology of fluoride intake and dental fluorosis, dietary fluoride supplement use, and fluoride assays of local water supplies. Instructional technology issues focus on designing, producing and evaluating computer-based patient simulations; creating, storing and retrieving digital images, and collaborating with organizations outside the dental school to develop computer-based for assessing dental students and practitioners. Research includes evaluating clinical problem-solving and cognitive skills through the use of patient simulations and also new technologies (hardware and software).
