CRET


The CRET Innovation Center

The vision of the Center for Research and Education in Technology (CRET) is to create a model state-of-the-art dental Innovation Center that will bring the most current services, technologies, equipment, and products to dental education.  This Innovation Center will be an academic, practice-oriented education and research facility where representatives from academia, industry, and government can gather, discuss and make recommendations for improving dental education, research, and practice to improve the oral health of people worldwide.

At the present time there is no university-based interdisciplinary facility that fuses activities in dental education and technology evaluation into a seamless unit for improving dental practice to enhance the delivery of high quality oral health care. The successful completion of the CRET Innovation Center will represent the establishment of a first of its kind such facility in the United States. As a university based facility, the CRET Innovation Center will simultaneously validate and integrate research performed in a clinical setting thus allowing industry, clinicians, and students to benefit.
