Mission	Dental research at ACTA focuses on the study of health and diseases of the tissues in and around the oral cavity. Beside infectious diseases like dental caries and periodontal inflammatory processes, attention is paid to the development, function and regenerative capacities of the hard tissues in general, dysfunction of the masticatory system and diseases of salivary glands and oral mucosa. It is the general aim to improve strategies for diagnosis and prevention of diseases and functional repair of the affected tissues in and around the oral cavity. In our attempts to fulfil this mission special care is taken to establish: - Integration of basic disciplines with the clinical fields; - Education and further academic training of PhD-students; - The promotion and improvement of the quality of the research in ACTA with special attention to the translation of the results into applications in clinical dentistry. To this end there is a vivid interaction with professional dental organisations and industries.
