NGS Academy of Multidisciplinary Dentistry
 

The board of directors of the NGS is proud to announce that our

organization has recently changed our name and our mission to

reflect the evolution that is taking place in our profession. We

will, from this point forward, be known as the NGS Academy of

Multidisciplinary Dentistry (NGSAMD). The NGSAMD has

enjoyed a proud history spanning 50 years, providing continuing

education programs of the highest caliber. We will continue to

embrace not only general practitioners, prosthodontists and

technologists as we always have, but, all of the dental specialties

on equal footing as members of the NGSAMD.

 

More young clinicians are being cross-trained to perform a

broader spectrum of treatment, including the restorative and

surgical components with a strong emphasis on digital dentistry.

Additionally, the team approach needs to be reinforced as the

backbone of successful complex treatment outcomes. Needless to say, the digital world is here to stay and exciting developments are happening every day. With this changing landscape in mind, we are committed to representing all of the dental specialties, general practitioners and laboratory technologists under one organization.

 

We stand as an academy dedicated to higher education,

professional relationship building, and the advancement of dental technology, all in an effort to improve patient care for the

community. There is no other regional or local group that can make this claim. We intend to be the first and the finest, maintaining the high standards the NGS has been recognized for over the past 50 years.

 

The NGSAMD, with the help of generous corporate support,

sponsors high quality speakers from around the world to present

cutting edge lectures at our meetings. The NGSAMD also

sponsors student attendance at our meetings and annual student

poster competitions with monetary scholarships that help

students attend national meetings in their disciplines. Our

meetings historically have drawn roughly 230-250 people per

session and we anticipate this number to grow considerably now

that we have opened up the academy to all disciplines. We will

embark on a strong marketing program to promote the meetings

and the mission of the new NGSAMD.

 

The Mission of the NGS Academy of Multidisciplinary Dentistry is to provide dentists and dental technologists with educational experiences that advance the knowledge and understanding of the current clinical, scientific and technical innovations in each of the disciplines of dentistry. The NGS AMD is to provide a forum that fosters cross-discipline education as well as the collaborative relationship between general dentists, all dental specialists and dental technologists, that is necessary to provide patients with the highest level of care.
