The Dental Student Research Mentorship Award, offered by the Osteo Science Foundation, aims to foster early exposure to regenerative medicine for dental students by pairing them with an oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) mentor. The student-mentor team will collaborate on a clinical research project focused on regenerative medicine, with the goal of completing the project within one year and producing a publication or poster presentation. The award supports innovative research and hands-on mentorship, advancing the foundation's mission to promote high-quality research and education in oral and craniofacial surgery.
