The Dental PBRN Japan (JDPBRN) has begun its first study entitled “Assessment of Caries Diagnosis and Caries Treatment”, Pricipal Investigator (PI) is Dr. Naoki Kakudate, Director of JDPBRN. Data collection is currently underway.

This study is modeled after US DPBRN Study 3 of the same name and is the first international collaborative study between JDPBRN and US DPBRN. We thank DPBRN Director Dr. Gregg Gilbert for giving such a great opportunity. After finalizing the analysis of the study, we will give feedback for our members to improve their practice and are planning to publish international peer-reviewed journal.
