Nominations are invited for the 2010 ORCA Prize. This prestigious prize is given in recognition of outstanding contributions to the field of dental caries research.

Moreover, there are no restrictions on nominees with respect to age or seniority, and persons who have previously been nominated unsuccessfully can be re-nominated. The main qualification is a body of original published work in caries research, but this may be supported by a record of active promotion of caries research in other ways.
