This perspective article urges the academic community to adopt a coordinated approach uniting dental medicine and engineering to support research, training, and entrepreneurship to address the unmet needs and spur oral health care innovations. We describe a new interschool institute that brings together dentists, scientists and engineers, resources, and a training program dedicated for affordable oral health care innovations, which may serve as a template for dental medicine-engineering integration.
