The sixth issue of the OHSU School of Dentistry Anthology, or SODA, celebrates the intellectual rigor, clinical curiosity and scientific contributions of our dental residents. You will find a curated collection of research abstracts and reflections on research experiences from residents across five advanced dental specialty programs: endodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, pediatrics, orthodontics and periodontics.
By integrating the latest scientific evidence with clinical expertise and patient-centered care, residents in endodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, pediatrics, orthodontics and periodontics are trained not only to treat but to question, innovate and lead. This anthology reflects that ethos: each abstract is a testament to the rigorous inquiry and scholarly engagement that defines the OHSU approach to specialty education and its dedication to advancing the future of oral health.
This issue highlights abstracts that explore pivotal topics in dental research, including comparative analysis of repaired traumatic Le Fort injuries, Oregon dental professionals’ role in promoting HPV vaccination, the influence of host immunity on oral microbial dysbiosis in mice, the utility of parental pain risk screening in pediatric patients with oral discomfort, the impact of various sugar substitutes on the growth and biofilm formation of Streptococcus mutans, effect of different protocols on temperature changes, bone density, implant stability and biomechanical properties with triangular implants, potential association between cannabis use and periodontitis and correlation between temperature variation and number of implant osteotomy preparations performed in human cadaver tibiae.
Additionally, this issue features insights into the research journeys of three residents from the advanced programs in endodontics, orthodontics and pediatric dentistry.
