Good morning Academy Member,
The American Academy of Restorative Dentistry is an organization that stands for excellence in continuing education, allows an atmosphere of professional comradery and provides an annual meeting that stimulates and inspires us to be the best we can be. As you are aware, the world has been dramatically affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, guidelines currently in place in Chicago prevent us from offering a meeting that is congruent with our professional standards and substantial objectives. After careful and lengthy consideration over the past several months, the Executive Committee has unanimously approved cancellation of the February 27-28, 2021 meeting. We reviewed all possible options carefully. This decision was not made lightly.
There are many details that must be carefully managed when postponing a meeting of this size and stature. Presenters are being notified and other details will be addressed in order of priority. However, the Executive Committee felt it of the utmost importance to notify members as soon as this difficult decision was made. If you would please notify the individuals whose names you submitted for guest invitations to let them know of the cancellation, it would greatly assist in the process.
I appreciate your understanding, and I look forward to our meeting February 26-27, 2022. Please continue to mentor and propose qualified candidates for membership. The Admissions committee will proceed uninterrupted as charged by the Academy.
Your commitment to this Academy and to the improvement of our profession is appreciated. Thank you again for your understanding.
Hugs to all. Be safe and well.
Respectfully,
Michael C. Fling, DDS
President, The American Academy of Restorative Dentistry

On behalf of the American Academy of Restorative Dentistry, thank you for your interest in our Academy. Since 1928, this academy has dedicated itself to the advancement of the science and art of restorative dentistry. Our academy annually presents a two-day conference in Chicago, devoted to the exchange of clinical and academic information by means of essays, projected clinics and table clinics, as well as through the camaraderie of our members and guests from the world over. Our members contribute to your continuing education with our annual scientific review published in the "The Journal Of Prosthetic Dentistry" and our "Through The Eyes Of The Masters" DVD series listed on the website.
I feel that our task is to identify our gifts and then use those gifts to influence the world in a positive way. Our Academy has members that have so many talents and gifts that indeed they make dentistry better. This in turn improves the quality of care for our patients. It gives me great pride and comfort to experience the inspiration that this organization gives to our profession.
Thank you for taking time to visit our website.
