The Ohio State University College of Dentistry is one of the graduate schools of The Ohio State University. The college is the third largest public dental school in the U.S. and consists of nine academic divisions representing all major dental specialties. In addition to the D.D.S. degree, the Ohio State College of Dentistry offers specialty training programs, advanced training programs, MS programs, and a Ph.D. program in Oral Biology. Outreach and Engagement activities include over 60 active programs and more than 42 extramural sites, which continue to expand.
The College of Dentistry offers formal graduate programs leading to a Certificate, Masters (M.S.), and/or a Ph.D. in the following areas:
The College of Dentistry receives extensive support from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. Students and faculty members participate in both clinical and laboratory research. Faculty researchers have expertise in such fields as: gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis), tooth decay (caries), tooth stain, plaque, and dentin hypersensitivity (pain). A dedicated clinical research center facility accommodates clinical studies. A research-focused combined D.D.S./Ph.D. degree program is also available.
The Ohio State Dental Clinics offers primary care and a full range of specialty clinics all in one building. The Dental Emergency Care Clinic is also available as a walk-in only service available to adult patients older than age 18. Emergency care is provided by third- and fourth-year dental students under the supervision of college faculty.
