College of Dentistry

The College of Dentistry is dedicated to advancing sustainable dental practices and research. Our faculty and students are actively exploring innovative solutions to minimize the environmental impact of dentistry while ensuring optimal oral health. Key research areas include:

  • Waste Reduction Strategies: Developing strategies to reduce dental waste, including the proper disposal of hazardous materials, recycling programs for dental equipment, and the minimization of single-use plastics.
  • Eco-Friendly Dental Materials: Investigating the development and use of sustainable dental materials, such as biocompatible and biodegradable materials, to reduce the environmental footprint of dental procedures.
  • Energy and Water Efficiency in Dental Clinics: Optimizing energy and water consumption in dental clinics through energy-efficient equipment, water-saving technologies, and sustainable building design.
  • Oral Health and Environmental Health: Exploring the connection between oral health and environmental health, investigating the impact of environmental pollutants on oral health, and promoting preventive oral health care practices to reduce the need for invasive dental procedures.

By integrating sustainability principles into our curriculum and research, we aim to cultivate a new generation of dental professionals who are committed to both patient care and environmental stewardship.
