British Society for Restorative Dentistry (BSRD)

The British Society for Restorative Dentistry, founded in 1968, aims to promote high standards in Restorative Dentistry amongst all practitioners, through both meetings and publications. It provides an opportunity to meet with colleagues who share a common interest in keeping abreast of all the changes taking place in this aspect of dentistry, particularly in the field of fixed prosthodontics. The Society encourages continuing education in Restorative Dentistry: both undergraduate and postgraduate research prizes are awarded and ongoing education projects are run by members.br/>br/> History:
On the 9th April 1968 a new society was inaugurated for restorative dentistry. Dentists from private practice, hospitals and the schools attended and after considerable discussion the name “British Society for Restorative Dentistry” was settled upon. The scope of the society was best described by the British term Conservative Dentistry but it was hoped to establish areas of common interest with adjacent subjects which are of direct importance to the retention of the natural dentition and its partial replacement by bridgework of various types.
