College of Dental Medicine holds clinic day Sponsored by the College of Dental Medicine’s Chapter of the American Student Dental Association, third-year dental medicine students presented their research projects at the annual Clinic Day, Feb. 24.  Projects were wide-ranging, informative and generated a great deal of discussion among students, faculty and staff. These projects enable the students to practice the scientific method; learn to perform literature reviews and evaluate scientific literature; and ultimately, to practice evidence-based dentistry.  Following the scientific program various dental manufacturers displayed their latest products and services available to the profession. This year’s winners were: First place: Quang Nguyen—“New Biological Functions of Human Serum IgA” Second place: David Hicklin—“The PRX1 Homeobox Gene is Critical for Molar Tooth Patterning” Third place: Douglas McCartha—“Composite Placement Technique: Does it really matter?” Winners received paid trips to present their research at various dental conferences around the country in addition to a monetary award.   Friday, March 11, 2005 Catalyst Online is published weekly, updated as needed and improved from time to time by the MUSC Office of Public Relations for the faculty, employees and students of the Medical University of South Carolina.
