Preventive and Community Dentistry
Jeonbuk National University School of Dentistry's Major and Department
The Department of Preventive and Community Dentistry was founded in 1983. We provide under/post graduate programs about preventive and community dentistry. One of our goals is to provide educational content to enable the dentist to become competent in the field of dental public health. We are also interested in basic research related to understanding the expression of virulence by dental biofilms (dental plaque) at biochemical, molecular biological and physiological levels, and finding novel measures to control dental biofilm-related diseases using plant secondary metabolites.
