    Abstract

    BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW: Established in 1948, the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) has helped transform dentistry into a profession that is based firmly in prevention and technological innovation. This article introduces the new NIDCR initiative in general dentistry practice-based research. It also highlights research supported by the NIDCR and its implications for dental practice in restorative dentistry, oral and systemic disease, stem cell research, salivary diagnostics, gene transfer therapy and pain. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The NIDCR supports research that will help guide the practitioner in the delivery of patient care and have a direct impact on the practice of dentistry.
