The Wrigley Oral Healthcare Program, in partnership with the International Association for Dental Research (IADR) Salivary Research Group (SRG), is happy to announce the two winners of the 2012 IADR Wrigley Salivary Research Award. Debora Heller was awarded the Clinical Salivary Research Award for dental scientists ($1,500 USD) and Adrienne Gauna was awarded the Basic Salivary Research Award for a dental or non-dental student ($2,000 USD). These awards were intended to assist with travel costs to attend the IADR 90th General Session & Exhibition in Iguaçu Falls, Brazil, June 20-23. Applicants had to submit a 300-word abstract within the Salivary Research area of study. Winners had the opportunity to present their scientific poster or give an oral presentation in a scheduled session at the conference.

“Research is a core component of Wrigley’s commitment to oral healthcare, and this award is part of our ongoing effort to encourage excellence in salivary-related research among dental professionals and students,” said WOHP spokesperson Maureen Jones. “We are proud to provide these winners with this award and hope it inspires other dental professionals and students to apply next year.”

Abstract submissions for the 2013 IADR Wrigley Salivary Research Award are open from July-October 5, 2012.
