A Principal Investigator whose research has been supported by a variety of funding mechanisms, including multiple awards from the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Robert L. Karlinsey holds a BS in Physics and PhD in Chemical Physics. Inspired by his own tooth decay, he created patented tooth-strengthening technologies found in several 3M Oral Care dental products. By infusing historical successes (and failures) with today's prevention-focused innovations, his knowledge of and research in preventive dentistry forms a compelling, enlightened perspective beneficial to clinicians, researchers, and laypeople alike.
