This prize recognises an outstanding scientific article which has direct clinical reference to periodontics.
The team won for their recent paper which showed that treating gum disease may help lower blood glucose level and reduce chronic inflammation in those with Type 2 Diabetes.
The findings have already led NHS England to recommend screening these patients for gum disease as standard.
It is the second time the team has been recognised by the AAP, having also received the Award in 2005.
