This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), under the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research program (CFDA 93.121), provides $312,120 to the University of Florida to conduct an in vivo and ex vivo study on temperature changes and inflammatory response in pulpal and gingival tissues surrounding dental restorative treatments using blue and red wavelengths. The award supports the research and career development of Dr. Dayane Oliveira in transitioning to an independent clinician-scientist with a patient-centered research program focused on designing and implementing novel dental biomaterials using red light. The key products of this 5-year study include exploring the potential of red light to mitigate pulpal and gingival damage during dental restorative procedures, with the goal of developing a safer and more effective treatment strategy to improve oral health. The results are expected to support a future medical device Phase 2 study application for using red light as a new light-curing approach in dentistry.
