Research

Dr. Martínez Mier's research has been funded by grants from the National institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, Clarian Health, Delta Dental Insurance, and the West Foundation. Her research projects have received National and International awards. Her research interests are mainly in two areas: fluorides and cross-cultural health. In the area of fluorides, she is particularly interested in refining analytical methodologies to accurately determine fluoride presence and in the role of fluoride in the onset and progression of demineralization and remineralization. She is also interested in developing methodologies to diagnose dental fluorosis through clinical, photographic and digital imaging evaluations, including dental fluorosis and incipient caries differential diagnosis and in better defining the mechanisms by which fluoride affects the development of dental and skeletal fluorosis, including genetic and environmental factors. Dr. Martínez Mier is engaged in community-based research in the area of cross-cultural and binational (US and Mexico) health designed to address and identify disparities in dental caries and dental fluorosis in Latino/Hispanic patients.
 
Service

Dr. Martínez Mier’s professional service activities are an integral part of her career. She has constantly sought to develop academic work that simultaneously meets her educational and research goals as well as community needs. She has been a mentor and health care provider in service-learning projects since 2001. Her service activities clearly overlap with her teaching responsibilities. She has obtained numerous service-learning grants to fund both the service and educational components of her projects and along with teams of faculty members and students she actively seeks donations and major gifts for her service-learning projects.
