Oral Diseases and Dental Health
Support innovative and high impact research that advances the understanding of the effects of combustible and new and emerging tobacco products on dental health and develops approaches to detect, prevent, and treat tobacco-related oral disease.
Examples of relevant research topics:
- Innovative, cost effective, and accessible approaches to early detection of oral disease in smokers.
- Research into interventions to reduce oral cancer incidence and mortality among commercial tobacco product users from tobacco priority populations. Note: Research on Oral Cavity and Pharyngeal Cancers should focus on disease types that are strongly correlated with tobacco product use (e.g., Human Papilloma Virus-negative cancers).
- Motivational interviewing in the dental clinic to encourage commercial tobacco product cessation.
- The effect of new and emerging tobacco products on tobacco-related conditions such as dental caries, periodontitis, or tooth loss.
