Discussing the future of dental materials, processes and products

摘要

The warm and beautiful Costa do Sauipe, in the north of Brazil, set up a great scenario to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Academy of Dental Materials. The Academy was founded and held its first meeting in 1941. It started as a group of dental professionals who were interested in the development and application of plastic materials to dentistry, and it was called The American Academy for Plastics Research in Dentistry. In 1983, the Academy was reorganized, broadened its scope and, under the leadership of Dr. Evan H. Greener, has become The Academy of Dental Materials (ADM). The Academy journal, Dental Materials, started two years later, in 1985.
