“As we deliver on our promises of evidence-based oral health care to the people of North Carolina, research is essential,” Greg Chadwick, DDS, MS, dean of the School of Dental Medicine, told ECU University Communication. Referring to the fact the School of Dental Medicine has clinics in eight underserved communities statewide and at Ross Hall in Greenville, he adds, “We’re doing our part to address the state’s oral health disparities.”

According to Sharon Gordon, DDS, MPH, PhD, associate dean for dental research, research initiatives will be interdisciplinary in nature, with topics ranging from the use of pediatric anesthesia and dental implants to the impact of a new dental school on dental-related emergency visits.
