Strategic Focus
Our goal is to contribute to the improvement of health conditions through research, teaching, and community outreach activities aimed at recognizing the most prevalent problems and proposing alternative solutions. This is intended from a critical-social vision that contributes to the analysis of the oral health-disease process in the context of our population. We aim to contribute to the formulation of public health policies and to the practice of odontology as a response to the needs of the population.
