Teaching activities have focused on public health, with a particular emphasis on epidemiology and research methodology.

Work in master's and doctoral programs has involved providing advanced training in the design and analysis of epidemiological studies, as well as research methods applied to health. Additionally, specialized courses have been developed on the evaluation of public health programs and the implementation of evidence-based health policies.

Research interests primarily focus on dental public health, specifically on evaluating child oral health improvement programs and implementing preventive caries policies. Research has also covered prosthetic functionality in older adults and the impact of community-based interventions on oral health.

Current research is directed towards evaluating the effects of fluoridated milk consumption on reducing dental caries among children and adolescents in Chile, a crucial area for advancing dental health equity.
