The Academy of Prosthodontics Foundation

The mission of the Academy of Prosthodontics is to promote the art and science of prosthodontics, disseminate prosthodontic knowledge, encourage study and investigation and provide outreach services to those in need. The Academy of Prosthodontics Foundation was established in 1990 at the request of Academy Fellow Clifford Van Blarcom, to assist the Academy in achieving this mission. Fellows Dale Smith and David Wands were instrumental in establishing the Foundation. Currently the Foundation is funding outreach programs to four locations and has provided $30,000 in research grants to graduate students over the last two years.
