​This research group is created to focus on innovations in dental education. Dental education is very rich in innovation. Innovations moved dentistry from tooth worms to the ecological plaque hypothesis, from amalgam to adhesive materials, from removable to implant retained prosthesis, from traditional lectures to problem-based learning and from blackboard and chalk to 3D virtual models. Curriculum must constantly adapt to development in dental knowledge, in technologies, in students’ needs and the changing oral health needs of the community. Supporting creativity is the way to improve dental education. Any change in the teaching or learning methodologies and tools must be investigated to see the effect of this change on education. If the change proved its efficacy, the curriculum has to be adjusted and new guidelines for dental education can be published. To develop innovative pedagogies and address the current challenges facing dental education, educators and dental schools must reflect on the factors necessary for supporting creativity and innovation and seek to remove barriers to or biases against creativity.​
