Description
The Cariology Research Group (CRG) of IADR established this award to promote the quality of science presented at the annual IADR scientific meeting. It recognizes outstanding research abstracts in caries, erosion, and related subjects, including work on their etiology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Relevant approaches include epidemiology, clinical studies, laboratory research, and animal experimentation.
The competition is assessed on the submitted abstract, with peer review followed by lead-reviewer selection and a final award committee review. Up to three abstracts may receive recognition, provided submissions meet a sufficiently high scientific standard. The presenting author of an awarded abstract is expected to attend the annual meeting and CRG activities, including the business meeting where awards are announced.
