Lars Pallesen

Lars Pallesen serves as a Senior Clinical Instructor in the Department of Odontology at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. His clinical and research activities are centered within the dental school's Section 03, contributing to both undergraduate education and specialized patient care in odontology.

His primary research spans dental epidemiology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and dental pharmacology. He investigates third molar retention patterns across international populations, analgesic efficacy for dental pain management, oral pathology manifestations including rare tumors, and infection control protocols for immunocompromised patients. His work integrates clinical dentistry with public health perspectives through cross-sectional studies and randomized trials.

Analysis of his publication record reveals a strong emphasis on evidence-based clinical dentistry, with recurring themes in comparative dental epidemiology and surgical outcomes. His research bridges Scandinavian and American dental practices, particularly in third molar management and postoperative care, while addressing critical infection control challenges in dental contexts relevant to systemic health.
