American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry

The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), founded in December 1984 by Jack Kammer and Jeff Morley of San Francisco,[1] is a cosmetic dental organization.[2][3] The academy has been surveying "American patients regarding esthetic dentistry and their personal preferences" since its inception.[4]

By 2001, the academy had members from 40 different countries.[5] Between 2000 and 2007, membership in the organization grew by 70%.[6]

Executives

Presidents of the academy serve one-year terms. Ken Glick of Toronto, Canada, served as the president in 1998.[7] Mike Malone was elected vice president in 2001 and "will automatically ascend to President in two years."[5] Wynn Okuda was the 'president elect' in late 2002.[8] Laura Kelly of California became the academy's first female president in 2007.[9] Kelly was followed in 2008 by Mickey Bernstein of Tennessee.[10]
