These scientists conduct basic, translational, patient-oriented, and implementation research to increase understanding of fundamental processes in dental, oral and craniofacial health and disease, and to promote timely knowledge transfer and community adoption of research findings.

The institute's intramural, extramural, and epidemiology organizational components were reorganized into the Division of Intramural Research and the Division of Extramural Research. 1994 The intramural, extramural, and epidemiology organizational components of NIDR were redefined from programs to divisions, establishing the Division of Intramural Research, the Division of Extramural Research, and the Division of Epidemiology and Oral Disease Prevention (DEODP). The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research is responsible for carrying out research work for improving oral, dental and craniofacial health of the public. The Epithelial and Salivary Gland Biologyarea, which investigates cellular, molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying development, differentiation, and secretory physiology, with the aim to repair and regenerate function. Titanium is the best and most studied.
