The University of Colorado Denver School of Dental Medicine has received $1.5 million from the Delta Dental of Colorado Foundation to create an endowed chair in early childhood caries research.
"Delta Dental continues to be one of our very strongest partners in ensuring our Colorado neighbors, particularly the younger members of our communities, have a real chance at beginning their lives with healthy smiles," said Denise Kassebaum, D.D.S., M.S., dean of the School of Dental Medicine, in a press release. "The establishment of this chair, and the world-class clinician researcher we will be able to recruit to fill the position, will have long-term positive impact on the fight against this disease."
The University of Colorado Denver School of Dental Medicine is the only dental school in the Rocky Mountain region of the U.S.
