Anybody out there have a good idea for an independent research project that is dental related? (I am an applicant this cycle) I need a one credit independent research project for my last semester at college, so I figured I might as well make it dental related. There are a couple of dental offices near college where I can trade work (assisting, filing, sterilizing,etc.) for doing some independent research, but I am brain dead for a topic. Every topic I come up with (link between smoking & periodontal disease/childhood flouride treatments & cavities later in life/bleaching and weakening of enamel)seems like they would take more than four months time to complete and that is all I've got.

I started looking a little bit into this, but you can look at the insidence of phantom toothy syndrome in patients who have their roots extracted. It is a topic which is interesting because, if its missdiagnosed, it can lead to extraction of a healthy tooth and eventual malpractice.
That is a great idea but I don't think my college will give me credit for it-good idea though, we should all plan a field trip to Chicago & stage a 'Watergate' to find out what goes on at 'Headquarters' with our applications. I envision a Star Wars bar scene where the characters are shooting paper airplanes made out of letters of recommendation at each other.
