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:
“The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of justice or absolute right and wrong, while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“The working woman may be quick to see any problems with children as her fault because she isnt as available to them. However, the fact that she is employed is rarely central to the conflict. And overall, studies show, being employed doesnt have negative effects on children; carefully done research consistently makes this clear.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is What does a woman want?”
—Sigmund Freud (18561939)
