FOCUS 2022 - Foundation for Endodontics Annual Report

Foundation-Funded Researchers Receive Accolades

WINNERS

Foundation funded research has been influential to the development of science. Articles published from Foundation funded studies have been honored, cited and noticed by your peers, journals, and other scientists. Take a look at both the quantitative and qualitative impacts Foundation funding has had on scientists and their studies. 2020 Clinical Research 2017 Basic Research: Biology

Investigating Potential Correlations Between Endodontic Pathology and Cardiovascular Diseases Using Epidemiological and Genetic Approaches. J Endod 2019;45:104-110. Dr. Maria Messing’s research project was her thesis for her graduate training under Dr. Ariadne Letra at the University of Texas at Houston. “A lot of my patients have cardiovascular disease... They’re having an infection, I can see the radiolucency, they’re going to benefit a lot from getting that treated. I’ll tell them that just keeping that chronic infection in their mouth will end up affecting their cardiovascular health over time… If I hadn’t received that funding for the research, I honestly don’t know where the money would have come from.”
