School of Dentistry Anthology | Fall 2025 Edition

The fall 2025 edition of School of Dentistry Anthology is available

Volume 3, Issue 3

At the heart of the research efforts found in the fall edition lies a shared commitment to evidence-based dentistry. That foundational principle guides clinical decision-making across all the specialty programs at OHSU.

In this issue, dental residents in endodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, pediatrics, orthodontics and periodontics share their work through abstracts and reflections.

Fall issue highlights:

• Effects of sugar substitutes on biofilm growth of Streptococcus mutans
• Traumatic Le Fort injuries
• HPV vaccine benefits
• Host immunity on oral microbial dysbiosis in mice
• Parental pain risk screening for pediatric patients
• Connection between cannabis use and periodontitis
• The effect of different protocols on temperature changes and bone density with triangular implants
• Temperature variation and implant osteotomy preparations links
