Dental Core Main Page

The GCRC Dental Core was created and funded through the 2003 GCRC NIH grant renewal. As a valued member of the GCRC, the Dental Core is an important partner in the overall growth of translational research at the UConn Health Center. The GCRC Dental Core at UConn is one of only four dental core facilities in 78 GCRCs nationwide.

The formal incorporation of the Dental Core within the GCRC will provide an invaluable resource in the development of clinical research careers for dental faculty. With a strong focus on clinical research within an academic environment, the UConn Dental faculty are able to understand disease processes and optimize treatment outcomes.

Their programs bridge the divide between medicine and dental medicine.
Along with administering the dental research clinic, the Dental Core offers assistance in research budgeting as well as guidance in protocol development, regulatory issues, and study coordination.

The Dental Core includes several operatories which offer state of the art technology and provide a comfortable space for both patient and provider.
