The American Academy of the History of Dentistry will be holding its 61st Annual Meeting in Vienna, October 5-8, 2012. Presentations will be held at the Bernhard Gottlieb Dental School of the Medical University of Vienna (Bernhard Gottlieb Universitätszahnklinik GesmbH). This will be our first meeting held outside of the United States.

Because our meeting date will fall within Columbus Day weekend in the U.S., the theme of this meeting will be: Discovering New Worlds: American and European Contributions to the Scientific and Cultural Foundations of Dentistry. Our Academy will explore the contributions of international colleagues, past and present, to the scientific and cultural foundations of dentistry.
