As a department, Cariology, Restorative Sciences & Endodontics takes on a large responsibility for DDS training. Within the department, there are a wide range of specialty and research foci. CRSE dental teaching activities include cariology, general dentistry, computerized dentistry, endodontics, dental public health, geriatric and special care dentistry, and applied biomaterials.
Graduate activities include 3-year Master's Degree programs in the field of Restorative Dentistry or Endodontics. CRSE also offers a post-graduate program in Restorative Dentistry or Endodontics. The CRSE research activities include educational research, computerized dentistry research, clinical research, molecular biology, cancer biology, health disparities research, hard tissue research, pulp biology, and novel biomaterials.
Academic Programs
ENDODONTICS GRADUATE PROGRAM (MS)
A three year program designed to train dentists to become experts in oral pain management.
RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY GRADUATE PROGRAM (MS)
The program provides advanced clinical training in direct and indirect esthetic restorations, crown & bridge and implant rehabilitation, affording comprehensive patient management experiences.
ENDODONTICS GRADUATE PROGRAM (Non-degree)
A four to six month program, focused on advanced and comprehensive academic and clinical experience in Endodontics with the emerging and advanced technology.
REGENERATIVE DENTISTRY GRADUATE PROGRAM (Non-degree)
A one year training in the space of biomaterials and tissue engineering applied to dental, oral, and craniofacial tissue regeneration, through didactic, research, and clinical experiences.
RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY GRADUATE PROGRAM (Non-degree)
A six or twelve month program to enhance fundamental restorative principles and to correlate oral sciences with clinical decision making and patient treatment.
ENDODONTICS CLINIC
The Endodontics clinic specializes in the prevention and treatment of diseases pertaining to the root of a tooth.
GRADUATE GENERAL DENTISTRY CLINIC
At the Graduate General Dentistry Clinic, care is provided by dentists pursuing graduate specialty training. With services ranging from routine treatments (cleanings, exams, x-rays, fillings) to advanced specialty services (same-day crowns, implant restorations, veneers), the Graduate General Dentistry Clinic can serve as a one-stop dental clinic.
DENTAL FACULTY ASSOCIATES CLINIC
The Dental Faculty Associates is a full-service dental clinic that can address all your dental needs. The office operates in much the same manner as any private practice. You and your family receive care exclusively by dentists who are faculty of the University of Michigan's School of Dentistry.

Bottino Lab
The Bottino Lab (Regenerative Dentistry) focuses on identifying and translating regenerative materials and technologies to reestablish dental, oral, and craniofacial (DOC) tissue health.

Fontana/González Lab and Clinical Research Unit
The Fontana/González Lab and Clinical Research Unit's research interests relate primarily to caries management in children, including risk assessment (and interprofessional care models), dental sealants, and oral biofilms as it relates to caries development and/or prevention (and included in this area, therapies that may affect the biofilm, such as xylitol, silver diammine fluoride, etc).

Nör Lab
Nör Lab research interests are in tumor angiogenesis and stem cell biology. The lab's current research foci are the study of mechanisms regulating the vascularization of head and neck tumors, and the impact of cancer stem cells in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas and salivary gland cancer.

Chiego Lab
Dr. Chiego is involved with innervation of the pulp. This is of particular interest because of the variety of its roles in development, growth, pain, inflammation/immunity and repair. These roles occur in most peripheral tissues but in the dental pulp they are concentrated in a well defined anatomical area.

Sasaki Lab
The goal of the Sasaki Lab is to develop novel therapeutic approaches for the prevention and treatment of inflammation-associated diseases and to provide better environment for wound healing and tissue regeneration.

Joseph Decker Lab
The Decker Lab is focused on developing technologies that 1) detect and interpret the inter- and intra-cellular signaling networks within the tissue microenvironment, 2) alter an existing unfavorable microenvironment and 3) leverage alterations in the pathophysiological microenvironment for early detection and intervention. We have several active research aims towards these goals.

Tenuta Lab
The Tenuta Lab is focused on understanding the interactions between the dental biofilm, fluoride and caries, with the goal of developing innovative solutions to reduce caries experience throughout the lifecourse.
