NIOM maintains a distinct Nordic profile through broad contacts with the Nordic dental educational institutions and research centres. The Institute undertakes research, materials testing, standardisation and research-based consulting directed towards health authorities and dental health services in the Nordic countries. Our research and consulting are required to be scientifically founded and applicable to clinical dentistry.
