Oral and Dental

Our role is to support the delivery of high quality Oral and Dental studies and manage participant recruitment to time and target, both for Oral and Dental studies which are led from Scotland, and studies led from other nations which Scottish sites are participating in.  We provide support in the following areas:

  • Managing the study portfolio record
  • Monitoring the attainment of recruitment targets
  • Providing advice on study design and feasibility
  • Troubleshooting issues with poor recruitment
  • Identifying potential sites for studies
  • Facilitating access to resources to support research.

At the moment approximately half of all the Oral and Dental studies actively recruiting in Scotland are led by Scotland, demonstrating that we have a wealth of experienced Investigators who can develop and deliver successful dental research studies.
