What this research studies
This research aims to create sustainable clinical research programs at Midwestern University Colleges of Dental Medicine, focusing on the relationship between oral inflammation and functional gastrointestinal disorders. Faculty and students will receive training to conduct practice-based research, enhancing their skills and knowledge in this area. The project involves collaboration with the University of Chicago to provide foundational training and resources, ensuring that graduates are well-prepared to engage in national dental practice-based research networks.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals experiencing gastrointestinal disorders that may be related to oral inflammation.
Not a fit: Patients with gastrointestinal disorders not associated with oral health issues may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved understanding and management of gastrointestinal disorders linked to oral health, benefiting patients with these conditions.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promising results in understanding the connections between oral health and systemic conditions, indicating that this approach has potential for success.
