Critical care: College of Dentistry looks back on tradition, ahead to breakthroughsThis month, the College of Dentistry begins celebrating The University of Iowa's 125-year-old tradition of dental care, research, and outreach.
More than 80 percent of the state’s practicing dentists are alumni of the UI College of Dentistry, which provides a strong curriculum in problem-based and experiential learning, dentistry for geriatric patients and adults with special needs, and outreach in Iowa communities. The college's impact on dentistry goes beyond training—research plays a key role as well. Over the past three decades, the college has emerged as an international leader in research on tooth decay, fluoride, and cleft palate and other craniofacial anomalies.
