IADR PRESS RELEASES

Alexandria, Va., USA – The International and American Associations for Dental Research (IADR/AADR) have just released the fourth clinical supplement to the Journal of Dental Research (JDR). This issue encompasses the complete spectrum of oral, dental and craniofacial investigation with a focus on clinical and translational research.

Alexandria, Va., USA – The International and American Associations for Dental Research (IADR/AADR) have published a paper titled “Preventive Services by Medical and Dental Providers and Treatment Outcomes.” Nearly all state Medicaid programs reimburse non-dental primary care providers (nDPCPs) for providing preventive oral health services to young children; yet, little is known about how treatment outcomes compare to children visiting dentists. This study compared the association between the provider of preventive services (nDPCP, dentist or both) to Medicaid-enrolled children before their third birthday and subsequent dental cariesrelated treatment (CRT) and CRT payment. The complete study by researchers A.M. Kranz, R.G. Rozier, J.S. Preisser, S.C. Stearns, M. Weinberger and J.Y. Lee is published in the OnlineFirst portion of the IADR/AADR Journal of Dental Research (JDR).
