History
Our organization, now known as The American Academy of Restorative
Dentistry, came into being on August 17, 1921, at the Pfister
Hotel in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at the time of the meeting of the
National Dental Association, presently the American Dental Association.
Eleven men, being interested in the organization of a Porcelain
Section of the National Dental Association, met to organize and to elect temporary officers; to appoint a committee to draft a
Constitution and By-Laws; and to select a suitable name for the
organization. A committee was also appointed "to wait on the Board
of Trustees of the National Dental Association, to ask of, and
advise with them as to whether we can have permission to form
a separate Section of the National Dental Association to be known
as the Porcelain Section". Among other things it was decided that
all new members were to be selected by invitation only and that
a two-thirds vote of the membership be necessary for the candidates'
election. A temporary fee of five dollars was levied on each member
present to take care of all incidental expenses of the infant
organization. A committee was further appointed to prepare a clinical
program for the 1922 meeting of the National Dental Association
at Los Angeles, California. The first meeting was then adjourned.
At subsequent meetings of the newly established "American Society
of Dental Ceramics", broadening the scope of the Society to include
more general restorative procedures as well as ceramics was frequently
discussed and finally realized, when the society was eventually
reorganized and renamed "The American Academy of Restorative Dentistry".
In December 1927, one of the members of the American Society of
Dental Ceramics, Dr. T. W. Maves, wrote letters to some fifty
three outstanding dentists throughout the country explaining the
idea of an organization for Restorative Dentistry and requesting
that they signify their interest in such an organization. Enthusiastic
answers were received from most of the men. A meeting of twenty
men, who had signified their interest in such an organization,
was called to order by the temporary chairman, Dr. T. W. Maves,
on January 25, 1928, at the Drake Hotel, Chicago, Illinois.
Dr. Maves outlined the purpose for calling the meeting and expressed
the wish that those present could feel the same need for such
an organization. Such assurance was given by several and seconded
by all. Officers were then elected; and the new organization,
having been duly brought into existence, was then named "The American
Academy of Restorative Dentistry". The first Academy Council,
as we know it today, was then formed. Initiation fees and dues
were decided upon and the first meeting of the Academy, as such,
adjourned.
