Research
In addition to its teaching function, the Faculty also provides M.Sc. and Ph. D programs, and is at the forefront of academic dental research. The Faculty's long standing dedication to research has made it the major research centre in Canada and has established a well-earned international reputation. It currently attracts about $4,500,000 annually in research funds with some staff earning international distinctions. Major research areas in the Faculty include multidisciplinary approaches in the field of bio-materials, dental implantology, facial pain, growth and development, and periodontal physiology. Most, if not all, teachers in the Faculty are also involved in research. Each year, with the support of the Medical Research Council, a limited number of research scholarships are available to enable students to work through the summer months in the research laboratories.

Famous quotes containing the word research:
“One of the most important findings to come out of our research is that being where you want to be is good for you. We found a very strong correlation between preferring the role you are in and well-being. The homemaker who is at home because she likes that “job,” because it meets her own desires and needs, tends to feel good about her life. The woman at work who wants to be there also rates high in well-being.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“After all, the ultimate goal of all research is not objectivity, but truth.”
—Helene Deutsch (1884–1982)
“Men talk, but rarely about anything personal. Recent research on friendship ... has shown that male relationships are based on shared activities: men tend to do things together rather than simply be together.... Female friendships, particularly close friendships, are usually based on self-disclosure, or on talking about intimate aspects of their lives.”
—Bettina Arndt (20th century)
