The Executive Board of the university has appointed WHO expert Guglielmo Campus to the position of Endowed Professor for Preventive Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology. The endowed professor has the objective to promote public oral health. Guglielmo Campus brings wide-ranging experience and considerable expertise to his post. Preventive dental medicine focuses on the causes, development, diagnosis and treatment of diseases that affect the oral cavity and the teeth. It has the objective of maintaining and improving the oral health of the public. That includes, for example, improving the dental care of the elderly as well as oral hygiene training for migrants, for whom daily dental care is not part of their daily routine.
