The study will employ a mechanical chewing simulator and analysis techniques to measure changes in dental function, occlusal topography, microstructure, and elemental composition of...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $322,382 to the University of Connecticut Health Center (UCHC) from September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2026. The goals of this collaborative research project are to use computer modeling and high-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiments to better understand how the incorporation of cobalt (Co) and chromium...
- This $349,996 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program aims to develop a new dental technology to improve oral health through microbial transplantation. The project will test the use of beneficial oral microbes from healthy donor dental plaque to treat conditions like dental decay and gum disease in recipients. The effort will employ a 3D printed system to grow and propagate the transplanted microbes, with the...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $139,833 project grant to develop isotopic analyses of human tooth enamel. With a completion date of April 30, 2023, this award will support research under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). Specifically, the grant will enable the recipient to develop isoscapes and test lead isotope ratios in human tooth enamel. Isoscapes are maps that show spatial variations in isotope ratios, while analyzing lead isotopes in teeth...
- The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) awarded a $421,800 Project Grant under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121) to Midwestern University. The purpose of this 3-year grant, with a start date of September 7, 2023, is to develop hybrid hydrogel-based dental adhesives that are less vulnerable to hydrolytic degradation compared to current methacrylate-based alternatives. The goal is to create a truly biomimetic dental adhesive that can not only...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research Project Grant, CFDA# 47.049 Mathematical and Physical Sciences, provides $400,000 in funding to The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania to conduct collaborative research on developing novel hybrid metal-piezoelectric biomaterials for anti-infectious implantable medical devices. The key objective is to create advanced multifunctional biomaterial platforms that can effectively prevent biofilm formation and bacterial...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program awarded a $507,773 Project Grant to the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville Division to study the genetic factors influencing internal and external tooth morphology in non-human primates. The 3-year project, starting in April 2024, uses non-invasive microCT scanning and quantitative genetics analysis to measure dental variation and determine the degree to which tooth characteristics are...
- This $450,892 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports the development of novel mathematical and statistical methodologies to establish a foundation for constructing reliable and personalized digital twins for periodontal health. The project aims to integrate principles from statistical learning, topological data analysis, and generative AI to build ensembles of individualized "periodontal digital...
This $199,930 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation Division of Materials Research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey on the effect of inorganic trace elements on the structure and mechanical properties of dentin hydroxyapatite. The study aims to investigate how trace minerals like manganese, copper, and lithium impact the material properties of dentin, a vital component of teeth. The research employs advanced imaging and spectroscopy techniques to analyze the substitution of these trace elements into the dentin hydroxyapatite crystal structure and resulting changes in mechanical behavior. In addition to the scientific research, the grant includes an educational component to promote interdisciplinary studies in dental materials and foster STEM interest among underrepresented groups. The findings could lead to improved dental treatments for individuals with conditions affecting trace mineral regulation.
