Masatoshi Ando, DDS, PhD, holds the position of an Assistant Professor in the Department of Preventive and Community Dentistry, Oral Health Research Institute at Indiana University School of Dentistry (IUSD). After receiving his DDS degree from the Osaka Dental University, Osaka, Japan, in 1989, Dr. Ando obtained his PhD degree in Preventive Dentistry at Osaka Dental University, Osaka, Japan, in 1993. While in Japan, Dr. Ando was part-time general practitioner at the Osaka Dental University Hospital and several private dental offices. He held an appointment at the Nara Dental Hygiene School, Nara, as a lecturer of medical statistics and preventive dentistry. Dr. Ando also lectured to healthcare workers and patients in the community on oral healthcare and prevention of oral disease in his capacity as an Officer in the Environment and Public Health Bureau, Osaka Municipal Government, Osaka, Japan. In 1994, he accepted a position as Visiting Assistant Professor at IUSD. In 1998, he accepted an Assistant Scientist position (essentially the same as an Assistant Professor, except there are no formal teaching responsibilities and devoted full-time to conduct research). In 2007, he accepted his current position. Dr. Ando also holds the part time position at Dept. Preventive and Community Dentistry, Graduate School of Dentistry, Osaka Dental University, Japan. He has been a member for many years of the International Association for Dental Research (IADR), and the European Organization for Caries Research (ORCA).
