With a DDS and PhD, she maintains an active research profile with 173 research outputs spanning journal articles, book chapters, reviews, and other scholarly contributions. Her work is centered at Nørre Allé 20 in Copenhagen.
Professor Bakke's research focuses on orofacial function, masticatory system disorders, and the intersection of dental health with neurological conditions. Her work particularly examines temporomandibular disorders, dental health in Parkinson's disease patients, sleep-disordered breathing related to dental structure, and innovative applications like botulinum toxin in dental medicine. Her research employs both clinical assessments and digital methodologies for comprehensive analysis.
Analysis of her recent publications (2024-2025) reveals a strong emphasis on pediatric dentistry and its relationship to airway function, with multiple studies examining how maxillary structure affects breathing patterns in children. She also maintains significant research on neurological conditions affecting oral function, particularly Parkinson's disease. Her work bridges clinical dentistry with broader medical implications, demonstrating interdisciplinary collaboration across neurology, sleep medicine, and orthodontics.
Professor Bakke has contributed to public understanding of dental health through national media appearances in Denmark, including articles in Tandlægebladet about jaw joint arthritis and Parkinson's disease. Her activities include annual reporting from 2018 through 2025, with an ongoing VIP reporting period from 2019-2025. Though specific grant information isn't detailed in the provided text, her extensive publication record suggests substantial research funding support.
