The AAID Research Foundation Officers and Directors would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed to the Foundation. Because of donations from our members and corporate partners, we have been able to award research grants to further advance the art and science of implant dentistry. A list of recent awards is listed below. To make a donation contact the Research Foundation at the AAID Headquarters Office. Once again, thank you for your support, without it the Foundation would not exist.
