Clinical Study

Identifying Deceased American Service Members; Prisoners of War (POW) and Missing in Action (MIA)

This study is collecting a persons wisdom teeth/third molars (teeth located near the back of the mouth) from people across the United States. The study team will use the teeth to learn more about the life history of people from different places in the country. The information may help identify American military prisoners of war and missing in action.

I AM INTERESTED
