Osseointegration Foundation bestows research grants

Arlington Heights, Ill., March 13, 2021 – As part of its mission to foster the highest ideals of research, the Osseointegration Foundation (OF) is providing important financial support to four dental professionals pursuing groundbreaking dental implant research.

Recipients of these grants, up to $30,000 each in the categories of Basic Science and Applied Science, are presenting their findings as part of the AO Research Award session in the On‐Demand section of Academy’s 2021 Virtual Annual Meeting. They are also anticipated to submit manuscripts to the International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Implants (JOMI).
