Schottlander Prizes
The BSSPD, in association with Schottlander offers two annual prizes for the advancement of knowledge in Prosthetic Dentistry.
The main prize will be awarded for a twenty-minute Oral Presentation delivered to the Annual Conference of the Society and is for £750.
Schottlander also provide a prize for the best Poster Display / Table demonstration. This takes the form of a cash award of £150 for a single winner. If the judges recommend that the prize should be awarded to two posters, the cash award would be £100 each.
Prize winners will receive a certificate and are invited to a dinner hosted by Brian Schottlander usually in London.
Applicants for either prize should submit an abstract relating to their application (max 250 words maximum) via the members-only part of the website.
The Schottlander Oral Prize was awarded in 2014 to Dr Gerry McKenna (above) from The University of Cork for his presentation on "Tooth replacement for partially dentate older patients: a cost-effective analysis". The prize presentation was made by Brian Schottlander.
The Schottlander Poster Prize was awarded to Ahmed Al-Hilou (above) who, along with colleagues from Leeds Dental Institute demonstrated a poster entitled "In-Vitro Evaluation of Fluoroapatite Coatings against peri-Implantitis". Ahmed was presented with a cheque by Mr Stuart marlow representing Schottlander.
The BSSPD is greatly indebted to the continued support of Dr Brian Schottlander (above). He and his company have been a longstanding supporter of the society for over twenty years and his keen personal interest in the development of increasing knowledge in prosthodontics for the benefit of patients has been an effective driving force to spur on researchers and clinicians to present for the BSSPD Schottlander Prizes.
