Additionally, he earned a MS from Rochester in 1957, a PhD in biochemistry from UCSF in 1965 and a Certificate in Periodontology from USCF in 1983. An internationally recognized expert on fluorides, oral biology, cariology and periodontology, Dr. Newbrun has served as a consultant to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, Food and Drug Administration, American Dental Association, Dental Health Foundation (California) and Pan American Health Organization. He has served as a reviewer for 27 different journals and presented his research findings at more than 75 international conferences and many additional national and regional meetings. A prolific author, Dr. Newbrun has 116 articles indexed by PubMed spanning six decades. Additionally, he authored the textbook, Cariology, and was editor and authored several chapters of Fluorides and Dental Caries.
