Name of the research center: Research Center in Dento-Alveolar Surgery, Anesthesia and Sedation in Dental Medicine/ acronym: CDA-ASMD

Director of the research center: Prof. Univ. Dr. Mircea Riviș

Date of establishment/ acknowledgement: 28.04.2025

Research areas/ research opportunities:

The Research Center in Dento-Alveolar Surgery, Anesthesia and Sedation in Dental Medicine is an academic and clinical structure dedicated to scientific excellence, innovation, and the continuous improvement of dental practices.

The center’s activity focuses on the development and evaluation of modern dento-alveolar surgical techniques, optimization of anesthesia methods, and the implementation of safe sedation protocols for patients.

Mission:

The mission of the center is to generate evidence-based knowledge, enhance patient safety and comfort, and support the continuous professional development of specialists in dental medicine.

Through interdisciplinary research, national and international collaborations, and the integration of advanced technologies, the center contributes to the development of modern, efficient, and patient-centered dental care.

Main Activities:

Its activity includes clinical studies, development of therapeutic guidelines and protocols, education and training programs, as well as the promotion of high standards of safety and quality in medical practice.
