The European Society of Translational Medicine defines translational research as “an interdisciplinary branch of the biomedical field supported by three main pillars: bench-side, bedside and community” [1].

Traditionally, dental and oral health-related research has been disciplinedriven where characteristically a holistic view often has been lacking. More recently, however, the old “silothinking” has been abandoned and an interdisciplinary research has become the norm in many areas.
