It recognizes his November 2016 publication on head and neck cancer, titled 鈥淐omparison of mean radiation dose and dosimetric distribution to tooth-bearing regions of the mandible associated with proton beam radiation therapy and intensity-modulated radiation therapy for ipsilateral head and neck tumor.鈥 His co-authors for the study were SaeHee K.

The rigorous decision process for the Millard Award involved selection of the top three papers by a subcommittee. The entire Oral Medicine Section Editorial Board then voted on the winning article. Owosho鈥檚 publication will be recognized in a future issue of OOOO.

The OOOO is a preeminent journal in the fields of oral surgery, oral medicine, oral pathology, oral radiology or advanced general practice dentistry. It is the only major dental journal that provides a practical and complete overview of the medical and surgical techniques of dental practice in four areas. Topics covered include such current issues as dental implants, treatment of HIV-infected patients and evaluation and treatment of TMJ disorders.
