The American Dental Association (ADA) and the American
Association for Dental Research (AADR) have established the Evidence-Based
Dentistry Faculty Award to acknowledge a dental school faculty member who has
made significant contributions to implement and advance evidence-based dentistry (EBD).
Applicants must be an ADA or AADR member, a full or part- time
faculty member at a U.S. dental school and have completed an EBD-related
project within the last two years. One application per dental school will be
accepted. The recipient will receive a $1,000 award at the AADR’s Fall Focus
Symposium Oct. 7-8, which will be held in conjunction with the ADA Annual
Meeting in San Antonio.
“This will be a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge faculty
members who demonstrate leadership in implementing EBD in research, practice or
education, or contribute to the scientific knowledge base of EBD,” said Leslie
Winston, D.D.S, Ph.D., Director Professional and Scientific Relations at
Procter and Gamble Professional Oral Health.
EBD focuses on providing personalized dental care based on the
most current scientific knowledge. EBD integrates scientific evidence, the
patient's oral and medical condition, medical history and treatment
preferences, and the dentist's clinical judgment. The Evidence-Based Dentistry
Faculty Award is supported by a contribution from Procter & Gamble.
Award applications will be accepted until June 30. For
additional eligibility requirements and application information, please contact
