The National Institute of Dental Research turns 50 this month. During those 50 years, scientific research has resulted in amazing progress in reducing the prevalence and severity of tooth decay, periodontal diseases, and tooth loss. With these successes in mind, NIDR looks to more progress in such areas as the design and fabrication of biomaterials for replacement of teeth, early detection of caries lesions, and innovative remineralization strategies to optimize and preserve the health of dental tissues.
