The Oral Health Research Day was a huge success! The day provided DMD IV students an opportunity to present the findings from their Oral Health Research Projects; the culmination of their research work throughout their third and fourth years of study. 10 groups of DMD IV students presented their work along with 8 Summer Research Students who displayed their research posters and presented them to the judges. In attendance at the January 16th event were all four years of dental students, the Curriculum Associates, the event judges, the Dean, the Academic and Research Associate Deans, representatives from Dentsply Sirona and Sunstar, as well as the Montreal Dental Club. Thank you to everyone for their keen participation and congratulate the winners of this year’s OHR Event.
