Singer’s research paper was selected by the World Perio Research Award Committee, which is composed of representatives of leading dental journals worldwide. His research showed that moderate and severe periodontal diseases are associated with significant cardiovascular disease risk with marked sex disparity and heterogeneity by Hispanic/Latino background.
Since 2003, these awards have aimed to promote further research in the bi-directional relationship between oral health and systemic health to raise awareness about this issue around the world.
