Every year, untreated tooth decay sends thousands of young U.S. children to emergency departments for dental problems doctors can’t treat. Many eventually undergo surgery under general anesthesia, while others endure pain and infection.

Researchers at the University of Michigan are working to solve that problem. Margherita Fontana, professor of dentistry at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, along with co-researchers from Indiana University, the University of Iowa and New York University, recently concluded an important clinical trial to introduce drill-free cavity care as an effective, less painful way to heal cavities.

Dentists have long used silver diamine fluoride (SDF) off-label in the United States to treat tooth sensitivity. Until now, it has never been clinically proven to treat cavities. The inexpensive liquid is applied to the cavity, and in seconds, children can receive quality care without sedation, shots, or drilling.

The clinical trial assessed 830 children under age 6 recruited by dental offices, pediatric medical practices, and Head Start and Early Start programs. Dentists applied SDF to affected children every six months, and as a result, it successfully prevented more than half of the children from undergoing further decay. Overall, 38% of cavities stopped progressing.

SDF is a great alternative to conventional dental treatment that is valuable to young children, older populations, individuals with disabilities, and patients with dental anxiety who cannot bear traditional treatment methods.

With evidence-based support from the U of M-led research team, FDA approval is the next step towards wider product use across the country.

Northern Michigan University is developing a new way to detect certain brain cancers that could be faster, more affordable and less invasive for patients.

The technology, a biosensor called D2HGlo, working with bodily fluids like urine, plasma or serum. When it detects D-2-hydroxyglutarate, a molecule associated with tumor development in certain gliomas, the biosensor lights up with a fluorescent signal.

This “liquid biopsy” approach could deliver results in minutes rather than weeks, potentially reducing the physical and emotional toll of invasive diagnostic procedures for brain cancer patients.

D2HGlo has already received a provisional patent, with a full patent application currently under review. If successful, the technology could transform how certain brain tumors are diagnosed and monitored.

This critical research is one more way that NMU is driving innovation in Michigan.

Oakland University's Lowry Center and Oakland Schools are expanding access to free pre-K education by offering a Great Start Readiness Program (GSRP) for the 2026-27 program year.

This addition will deliver hands-on learning experiences in early math and reading and help eligible children, from 18 months through 5 years of age, develop social and problem-solving skills. The program serves up to 20 children who will attend class 4 days a week from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with the option of before- and after-care.

Not only is this an opportunity for children, but also for early education college students seeking real-world experience. While highly qualified educators lead the course, students assist and receive valuable training and feedback from faculty who are actively conducting early education research in the classroom.

The Lowry Center has served and supported young children's development for more than five decades, shaping future generations' classroom environments and experiences as we know them. Eligibility for the 2026-27 school year is based on birthdate and Michigan residency, and prioritizes children and families in need.
