 The Division of Associated Clinical Specialties has many of the School's specialty sections in it. These are the sections of Endodontics, Pediatric Dentistry, Periodontics and Orthodontics. Each section has specific responsibilities for the education of dental students and dental specialists, as well as continuing education of practicing Dentists. Each section also has active research endeavors in its area of expertise. In addition, the full time faculty treat private patients through a faculty practice. Our faculty serve our school, our university, our community and provide leadership in national and international organizations.
