Main research topics

Research focusing on: aethiology, pathogenesis, diagnostics, treatment and prognosis of oral diseases - from cell culture and tissue samples to patient setting

1. Infectious, inflammatory, potentially malignant and malignant oral mucosal diseases

                             •The influence of drug exposure and metabolism, genetic polymorphisms and molecular                        mimicry in oral mucosal diseases, e.g. oral lichen planus and leukoplakia

                             •The oral mycobiome and bacteriobiome: mapping the microbiome in oral diseases, explore                 the influence on the pathogenesis and progression, e.g. oral lichen planus and oral               candidosis

                             •Explore new treatment strategies and tailor new regiments - in cell culture and patient                          settings (bacteriotherapy)

                             •Candida diagnostics: development of new diagnostic methods (FACs- and FISH)

2. Hard tissue research: Odontogenic tumours and enamel organ repair - genetic polymorphisms and protein-expression

3. Oral mucosal health – mapping oral mucosal and dental health

                             •In elderly e.g. octogenarians on the Faroe Islands

                             •In patients with chronic diseases e.g. chronic renal diseasese

                             •In relation to exposure to electronic cigarette smoke

4. Development of clinical guidelines and oral intervention programs together with multi-professional teams of dental hygienists, nurses, medical specialists and dentists
