The legacy of the regional research centers for minority oral health.
The Regional Research Centers for Minority Oral Health (RRCMOH) helped to redefine the research and education missions of the participating institutions, and placed new emphasis on early diagnosis, prevention, and conservative interventions in minority-related oral diseases, with an eye toward innovative, cost-effective solutions to long-neglected and underfunded areas of dental and craniofacial research, education, and health promotion programs. This article reviews the legacy of the RRCMOH.
