From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), founded in December 1984, is the world's largest organization for cosmetic dental professionals.
The AACD stated mission is as follows: offering educational opportunities; promoting and supporting an accreditation credential; serving forum for the exchange of knowledge and ideas; and providing information to the public and the profession.
The AACD includes over 8000 practitioners, educators, researchers and laboratory technicians from 70 countries. This global perspective allows AACD members to gather information from the international field of cosmetic dentistry. With the formation of the Accreditation and Fellowship Programs, the AACD began offering postgraduate certification in cosmetic dentistry to both dentists and laboratory technicians.
