Dear Colleagues,

As the Editor-in-Chief of Dentistry Journal, I am pleased to announce the winner of the 2020 Dentistry Journal Travel Award: Nabeel Saleh F. Almotairy (Ph.D. student at Karolinska Institute, Sweden).

Mr. Nabeel Saleh F. Almotairy's research involves the development of chewing and biting behaviors in healthy children, and the influence of behavioral or environmental factors on the normal chewing behavior. He will present his research “Age-Related Changes in Sensorimotor Regulation of Chewing Behavior in Humans” at the IADR/AADR/CADR General Session & Exhibition 2020 in Washington D.C., USA on 16–21 March, 2020.

It was a difficult decision given the exceptional quality of about 40 applications for the award. On behalf of the award committee, we would like to thank all applicants for their participation, all the Award Committee members for their evaluation of the abundant excellent applications, and to congratulate Mr. Nabeel Saleh F. Almotairy for his accomplishment.
