WHO WE ARE
CRET occupies a unique space between organizations like the ADA, AADR, DTA, and ADEA. Each of these organizations represents a single constituency – practitioners, scientists, manufacturers, academics. The members of each group tend to remain in their respective silo.
In contrast, CRET occupies the space between the educators and the manufacturers, developing programs to promote the transfer of innovation technologies and products from the marketplace directly to dental students and faculty.

WORLD CLASS INNOVATION CENTERS
CRET was founded in 2004 by a group of innovative dental industry leaders to achieve the following vision: to insure that each dental school has the latest in equipment and products and that dental students and faculty have access to this technology for treatment of patients while in dental school.
Since its founding in 2004, CRET members have worked together on numerous projects to introduce technology into dental curricula. The success of their efforts, particularly the opening of 5 technology centers, is proof of the ability of CRET members to collaborate with dental faculty in the interest of working together towards their shared vision.
OUR MISSION
To develop a Technology Educational Program for dental students, dental residents, and dental faculty that will promote knowledge and competency in 21st century technology.
