Dental Student Award

Every year, accredited dental programs refer an outstanding pre- and/or post-doctoral dental student who demonstrates great interest, academically and clinically, in implant dentistry. The award serves as recognition of students’ achievements, as well as provides the opportunity for the winner to advance their skills and knowledge within the field of implant dentistry. Winners receive complimentary membership and registration to an educational meeting of their choice. Look out for these future oral implantologists!

For more information about the AAID Dental Student Award program or to have your school participate, contact AAID Headquarters at 312.335.1550 or education@aaid.com.
