School of Dental Science


The School of Dental Science provides education and training programmes for all members of the dental team. The School is housed within the Dublin Dental University Hospital, which is on the main Trinity Campus. The Dental Hospital is a National Centre of Excellence for many of the dental specialities, so all dental students are exposed to a very rich mix of patients for their training, while patients have access to clinical care that perhaps would not be available to them otherwise. The School has a number of research strengths, particularly in relation to fundamental and translational microbiology. Researchers in the School and Hospital are internationally recognised for their work on areas such as waterline decontamination and on the containment of MRSA and other serious infections.
