Biomedical Research


Researcher at the National Institute of Dental Research (NIDR) uses computers to measure very small changes in teeth and their surrounding tissues that are not detectable with conventional dental X-rays. Since its creation in 1948, the NIDR has been the primary sponsor of dental research in the United States. Much of its work was focused on preventing tooth decay, through such programs as community water fluoridation.
