Annica Almståhl serves as an Associate Professor/Senior Lecturer at Malmö University's Faculty of Odontology, where she maintains an active research profile in oral health science. With a background as a dental hygienist, she bridges clinical practice with academic research, contributing significantly to evidence-based approaches in dental care.
Her research interests center on oral dryness management, salivary secretion dynamics, and specialized oral care for head and neck cancer patients. Almståhl's work demonstrates how patient-centered approaches can improve clinical outcomes in dental practice, particularly for complex cases involving dry mouth conditions. Her research connects basic science with clinical applications, examining both physiological mechanisms and practical care strategies.
Her recent publications reveal a strong focus on practical clinical challenges, with studies examining how dental professionals manage oral dryness, the biophysical properties of saliva, and specialized care needs for cancer patients. This research portfolio shows consistent development of knowledge in oral health science with direct clinical relevance.
Almståhl actively collaborates with researchers across disciplines, working with colleagues in nursing education, oncology, and biochemistry to address multifaceted aspects of oral health. Her work with nursing students demonstrates commitment to interprofessional education, recognizing that oral health extends beyond traditional dental settings.
