Oral Biology Research Areas and Disciplines

Research in oral biology is highly interdisciplinary with those in surgery, microbiology, pathology, and genetics. For example, researchers are working to discover the causes of various oral cancers such as salivary gland tumors, squamous cell carcinoma, and odontogenic tumors. They are using methods such as studying gene expression to determine how oncogenes turn on and off, and what environmental factors (such as smoking) can lead to them turning on.

Other researchers are examining the natural flora of the mouth and are using this information to catalogue harmful and beneficial bacteria in the oral cavity, with an eye towards reducing harmful bacteria and thus cavities.

Saliva is another area of research, with it's role in the general health of the oral cavity. It has been determined that saliva plays an important role in maintaining good dental health through its antimicrobial ability to clean up sugars and dental plaques.
