About
Dr. Salvador Nares serves as Professor and Director of Periodontics Research in the Department of Periodontics. Dr. Nares received his DDS, PhD, and Certificate of Specialty in Periodontology from the Baylor College of Dentistry, Texas A&M University, in Dallas, Texas and a MBA from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Dr. Nares completed a three-year postdoctoral fellowship at the Oral Infection and Immunity Branch of the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research of the National Institutes of Health (NIDCR/NIH) in Bethesda, MD. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology and Dental Implant Surgery and Fellow of the International Team for Implantology (ITI). He has been the recipient of the Earl Robinson Regeneration Award from the American Academy of Periodontology and the Nevins Teaching and Clinical Research Fellowship Award from the American Academy of Periodontology Foundation. Dr. Nares's research focuses on investigating the underlying mechanisms of periodontal and dental implant inflammation and its resolution. Dr. Nares is also interested in digital dentistry in periodontics and dental implantology.

Research Currently in Progress
Dr. Nares's primary translational research focus is on the post-transcriptional modulation of mucosal immunity by non-coding RNA (ncRNA) and the role of antigen-presenting cells in the inflammatory response to periodontal pathogens. His clinical research interests include the utilization of digital technology as diagnostic and prognostic aids in periodontics and dental implant therapy.
