GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Dr. D. Lawrence Brock, an assistant clinical professor of periodontology at the University of Florida College of Dentistry, has received the American Academy of Periodontology’s 2007 Educator Award.

The award is given annually to a periodontal faculty member in each of the nation’s 56 dental schools who has been identified by his or her colleagues as having provided “outstanding teaching and mentoring in periodontics.” Brock was cited for his contributions to the department as interim director of the postgraduate program while continuing his undergraduate teaching, and for his recent board certification in periodontology.
