Introducing the BSSPD

The society was founded in 1953 and currently has an active membership of around 400 globally. This makes us one of the oldest and most established dental societies. Collectively our members have a vast amount of experience, with wide-ranging skills and abilities that span across the different dental disciplines.

Our aim is to advance research and education in the field of dental prosthetics for the benefit of the public.

A large proportion of our membership work within Primary care, and as such, the society has remained in touch with general practice as well as the academic environment.

The Society is represented on National Dental Committees, including the Specialist Advisory Committee in Restorative Dentistry, the Association of Consultants and Specialists in Restorative Dentistry Group and the British Standards Institution. The Society also contributes to Committees for Continuing Professional Education and Clinical Effectiveness, Royal College of Surgeons of England.
