成人直播 dental student chosen for national research competition
Jonathan Schneider 鈥17, a student in the 成人直播 College of Dental Medicine (成人直播 CDM), attended the annual American Dental Association meeting in Denver, Colorado, where he participated in Dentsply Sirona's Student Clinician Research Program/Competition (SCADA).
The event sponsors one student from each dental school in the United States to present a poster on research. Schneider was the first representative from 成人直播 CDM to compete in the event. He worked with a team of students from the Class of 2017 including Amber Gelinas, Katie Hunt, Anh Tran and Thanh Hyunh to prepare the research project titled, Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF): Preventive Fraction Meta-Analysis,鈥 which evaluates whether SDF is an effective alternative dental intervention for treating decay and cavities. Gelinas also attended the Denver conference and presented the research as part of the non-competitive portion of the program. Faculty mentors on the research project included Associate Dean of Academic Affairs Wallace Marsh, M.B.A., MSE, Ph.D., R.Ph.; Interim Associate Dean of Clinical Education and Patient Care Fields Farrior, D.M.D., M.S.; and Clinical Professor Takashi Komabayashi, D.D.S., M.Dent.Sc., Ph.D.
鈥淭his was my first research endeavor and it has inspired me to pursue more clinically related research topics at 成人直播 CDM in radiology, diabetes and CEREC dentistry,鈥 said Schneider. 鈥淚 hope that my research skills continue to grow after graduating.鈥
