UFCD Research: Overview
"The UF College of Dentistry is part of a major research-intensive university; thus, research is an important component of our mission and our faculty, staff and students are dedicated to participating in research and scholarly activity. Research and scholarship are focused on the creation of new knowledge that will enhance our teaching and service missions. The UF College of Dentistry currently ranks in the top 10 among the 55 dental schools in the United States in federal funding for research. In addition we are committed to seek support for our research and training activities through industry and state funding.
The collaborative research efforts of our faculty, staff, and students to explore new scientific concepts and critically assess contemporary treatment modalities have led to new knowledge that will be translated into clinical practice to support our standards of teaching and patient care, which is the ultimate goal of our profession.

The Center for Implant Dentistry
Established in 1999, this interdisciplinary center coordinates research, educational programs, and diagnosis and treatment related to patients needing dental implants.
Straumann AG, a Switzerland-based company that tested its first implant in 1974, and the International Team for Oral Implantology (ITI), a worldwide group of scientists and clinicians that developed the ITI-Dental Implant System, helped establish the center in Gainesville.
With the backing of these two leaders in the field of dental implants, the center is the first of its kind in the world. The center will benefit not only students in the doctor of dental medicine degree program, but also residents and faculty from our Health Science Center colleges, and an international audience of dental professionals through continuing education and distance education.
