ADASRI scientists to share studies on dental materials, vaping, pandemic and more during research exhibition

American Association for Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Research Annual Meeting and Exhibition to take place March 21-26

Scientists from the American Dental Association Science & Research Institute will share their research at the 51st Annual Meeting and Exhibition of the American Association for Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Research.

The meeting will take place March 21-26 both virtually and in person in Atlanta in conjunction with the 46th Annual Meeting of the Canadian Association for Dental Research. The ADASRI is a 2022 AADOCR/CADR Silver Scientific Session Sponsor of the meeting.
