Tove Larsen

Tove Larsen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Odontology at the University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences. She holds a PhD and specializes in clinical dentistry and oral microbiology, with a focus on translating research into practical dental solutions.

Her research explores:

• Antibiotic resistance mechanisms in oral pathogens like Streptococcus
• Innovative caries prevention strategies using probiotics and arginine
• Impacts of systemic diseases and pandemics (e.g., COVID-19) on oral healthcare
• Microbiological aspects of periodontitis and odontogenic infections

Recent publications (2020-2025) demonstrate a strong emphasis on evidence-based clinical applications, particularly through randomized controlled trials in pediatric dentistry and microbial analysis. Her work consistently bridges laboratory findings with clinical dental practice.
