Special Announcement
Dr. Roy Stevens was the recipient of an NIH/NIDCR research grant. He was one of only three recipients nationwide to be awarded an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act-funded NIH/NIDCR research grant in 2010. This is Dr. Stevens’ second NIH grant since becoming a Temple faculty member, and makes him the only Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry faculty member to be awarded an NIH grant in the past 20 years. The $420,366 grant will be used to investigate the “Therapeutic potential of Enterococcus faecalis bacteriophage phiEf11”.
The Endodontic Department is pleased to announce that we have an unbroken string of 58 residents who have successfully passed the written portion of the Endodontic Boards. All six residents for the Class of 2010 have passed the written portion. Congratulations to all on a job well done!
