Strategy
Oman Dental College is committed to furthering an implementation agenda aimed towards reducing all aspects of oral disease, and the promotion of dental public health. The college is also committed to the pursuit of ‘Evidence Based Dentistry’ in the Sultanate, including the delivery of research-led pedagogical approaches combined with the provision of clinically effective dental care delivered in a research supportive environment.
Collaborations
We are currently preparing to undertake dental epidemiological surveys in the Sultanate of Oman, and probe into the Omani patient’s perceptions towards dental treatment. As part of this, we have initiated collaborative research efforts with other universities and academic institutions around the world, in particular with our affiliate, the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and King’s College London. Similarly, we will collaborate with local institutions and bodies across the Sultanate including the Ministry of Health and the Royal Oman Police to strengthen our bids, believing firmly that the collaborative approach produces superior results.
We welcome inquiries regarding potential research collaborations. Please contact Research@staff.odc.edu.om
Research in Oman Dental College is currently arranged under three main themes:
Within these themes, a wide variety of individual and collaborative research projects is being initiated.
Providing a venue for student-led research activities can be an excellent path for students to build their professional portfolio, and to build momentum for academic journal publishing later in their careers.
Our long-term aims include implementing a strategy to help guide dental health providers on how to improve dental treatment outcomes. This can, in turn, be promoted by local health organizations and institutions to inform new national ‘Evidence-Based’ dental protocols.
