    Michael McCracken; Fiscal Year: 2002
    ..This knowledge may lead to bioengineered materials which will modify and improve bone healing response in diabetic patients who receive implants. ..
  2. Periodontal Disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis
    Michael McCracken; Fiscal Year: 2005
    ..Furthermore, it is hypothesized that among patients with rheumatoid arthritis, an association exists between the rate of progression of inflammatory arthritis and the progression of periodontal disease. ..
