Restorative Dentistry Organizations

American Academy of Restorative Dentistry
The American Academy of Restorative Dentistry was established in 1928. Active membership in the Academy is limited to 165 general dentists and dental specialists. Members and guests meet annually in February for a two-day scientific session in Chicago, IL. The objectives of the Academy are to promote the improvement of the health of the public, and the quality of the art and science of restorative dentistry. As such, lecturers are required, when appropriate, to offer significantly valid evidence and sound scientific basis for all concepts presented.
American Academy of Operative Dentistry
The American Board of Operative Dentistry, Inc. was created in 1980 by the Academy of Operative Dentistry to elevate the science and practice of Operative Dentistry by conducting examinations to recognize the proficiency of dentists who voluntarily apply to the Board for Certification.
American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry
The American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry was formed in 1975 and has members from throughout the United States and 11 other countries. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois the group is governed by an Executive Council. Academy members are truly the elite professionals of this field and are internationally known for their work. Membership is offered by invitation only, and the Bylaws restrict the growth of the Academy's membership in order to maintain the highest levels of excellence. The Academy traditionally holds an annual educational session. Scheduled for the first complete week in August, this meeting is typically open only to members and their invited guests; in an effort to enhance fellowship and professional growth, guest registration has been held to an approximate ratio of 2 guests for every 1 member in attendance. Spouses and children of the attendees are also invited to participate in the social activities. The Academy has developed an outstanding reputation for quality and each year our conference is recognized as one of the major events in the dental community.

Project Dentists Care
Dentists Care Inc. (PDC) is a nonprofit, charitable organization formed in 1993. This dental access-to-care program was established by the Florida Dental Association (FDA) and supported by the Florida Dental Association Foundation. It consists of numerous organizations in Florida that provide a safety net of preventive and restorative dental care to those in greatest need. Many FDA members volunteer their time and services with these organizations to provide oral health care to the underserved.

Restorative Dentistry Journals

Dental Materials
The principal aim of Dental Materials is to promote rapid communication of scientific information between academia, industry, and the dental practitioner. Original Manuscripts on clinical and laboratory research of basic and applied character which focus on the properties or performance of dental materials or the reaction of host tissues to materials are given priority publication. Other acceptable topics include application technology in clinical dentistry and dental laboratory technology.
Journal of Dental Materials & Techniques
The Journal of Dental Materials and Techniques is produced quarterly by the Vice Chancellor for Research of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (MUMS). It strives to publish original articles of the highest quality to the scientific and clinical knowledge; all of which are subjected to peer reviewing. Original scientific articles are published in the area of various dental materials used in modern dentistry in addition to the techniques used for diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, review articles, reports of special clinical cases, clinical techniques, and innovations related to the title of the journal are welcomed.
Operative Dentistry
Operative Dentistry is a refereed, international journal published bi-monthly and distributed to subscribers in over 50 countries. In 2012, we printed 84 articles (672 pages). Papers were submitted by authors from 45 countries, in the categories of Clinical Research, Laboratory Research, Clinical Techniques/Case Presentations and Invited Papers, as well as Editorials and Abstracts.
Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry
The Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry is the longest standing peer-reviewed cosmetic dentistry journal devoted solely to advancing the knowledge and practice of esthetic (aesthetic) dentistry. Our goal is to provide the very latest evidence-based information in the realm of contemporary interdisciplinary esthetic dentistry through clinical papers, sound research reports and educational features. A key focus is interdisciplinary concepts in dental esthetics including interactions among restorative, orthodontic, periodontal and endodontic areas. We also encourage in vitro and in vivo studies.

Dental Caries : the selection of restoration methods and restorative materials
ISBN: 1803563613

Publication Date: 2022

Dental caries affects people throughout their lifetime, being a major factor in oral pain, aesthetic impairment, and edentulism. Untreated dental caries can affect adjoining oral tissues and lead to systemic complications. Prevention represents a key factor in managing this condition and includes public health measures, addressing risk factors as well as access to oral health services. A regular dental examination is crucial for detecting early signs of caries and determining optimal treatment. The proper selection of restoration methods and restorative materials may represent the difference between success and failure in dental caries management. This book includes seven chapters that focus on various important aspects of dental caries, including etiology, diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and management.
