| University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry EIN 436003859 | MO | 170(B)(1)(A)II | $325K | Although radiotherapy saves the lives of many head and neck cancer patients, the quality of life of these cancer survivors is drastically diminished due to numerous radiotherapy-induced oral and dental complications, including painful mucosal tissue, dry mouth and severe debilitating breakdown of teeth and the associated loss of chewing function.
