Editorial Thank you again to all those who have contributed to this issue. In this issue we discuss the endorsement of the Dental Trauma App produced by Ulf Glendor from Sweden. We have information on IADT and other affiliated trauma courses, the Fellowship, a report on a very productive meeting with the American Association of Endodontists and a note from our Japanese trauma group. This is the first issue of the newsletter without an Executive report from Leif Bakland who has retired and recently received IADT s highest award. This award will be presented to him at the trauma conference in Copenhagen. Details of this meeting in this newsletter. Dental Trauma App Alex Moule IADT Newsletter Editor The only predictable thing with dental accidents is that they will happen. Indeed, roughly one-half of the world s population will suffer dental trauma of some kind. The many possible combinations of injuries make diagnosis and treatment difficult. Successful healing outcomes are intimately linked to the emergency treatment, much of which happens at the site of the accident. The IADT has endorsed the Dental Trauma App and obtains a small royalty from its sale, worldwide.the App is aimed at helping parents, teachers, sport coaches and others to make the best trauma first aid. It explains in lay terms what to do at the site of the accident, and if a visit to a dentist could be delayed or not. Officers meets with American Association of Endodontists board to discuss and greater co-operation between societies. Membership April, The App is now translated in 16 languages: Arabic, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, Greek, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russia, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish.

2 President s report Dear IADT Member, IADT is in a truly active phase of development and making tremendous progress. Membership is now 650. We are also currently working hard planning the next IADT World Congress in Istanbul, an ideal venue for a world congress, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The scientific program will be one of the best ever, with many distinguished speakers already having accepted our invitations. You can get yourself updated from our web page and later on the special congress web page as the preparations for this great event continue. Fourteen committees have been appointed and more than 40 IADT members are now actively working on IADT issues. Information on committee activities are published elsewhere. We have recently endorsed the first app Dental Trauma made by Dr Ulf Glendor in Sweden for smartphones (iphones and Androids). It provides information for the public on how to manage an emergency dental trauma situations. We recommend you to download it from the App store and spread the information to the public. IADT will shortly be presenting continuing education courses on dental trauma in various geographic locations around the globe with discounted registration fees for IADT members. Keep yourself updated on the IADT web page. The field of Dental Traumatology is not a specialty, so it has earlier not been possible to have recognition for members who have acquired competence in our field. We are going to change this with our fellowship. The IADT Fellowship in Dental Traumatology will be launched later this year. Members who have held membership for at least three years, have demonstrated activity in a variety of activities in dental traumatology, and who pass an online examination will earn special recognition and the distinctive title of Fellow of the International Association of Dental Traumatology. You will find more information in another page of this Newsletter and, as this work progresses, on the web site As at least 3 years of membership in IADT will be one of the prerequisites to sit the exam, I advise you to sign up for membership today, if you have not already done this. Do convey information about our fellowship to colleagues you know who are interested in traumatology. Our scientific journal, Dental Traumatology is making further progress and we have an increased inflow of manuscripts. The journal give priority to review articles and original articles. The journal is included in our membership and continues to publish the best scientific dental trauma literature in the world, providing up-to-date information to our members on Dental Trauma. The IADT Guidelines is have been a great success and translation to different languages is progressing. If you are interested in translating the IADT guidelines please contact us. Our guidelines have for a long time has been considered the gold standard of treatment worldwide. Recently the American Association of Endodontists endorsed the IADT guidelines. We are working together with AAE further develop cooperation between us. IADT is actively supporting the Dental Trauma Guide team in Copenhagen and this team has further developed the interactive program Dental Trauma Guide. A trauma symposium will be arranged in Copenhagen later this year. More information can be found in this newsletter and on the web page. As you can see from the highlights above, there are many reasons to support our association and be member in IADT. Welcome to be a member of our great multi-disciplinary association where colleagues with interest in traumatology meet. PAGE - 2 Lars Andersson President IADT

4 Fellowship News The Fellowship Committee is currently finalizing the details of the Fellowship program which will be released later this year. This will be an exciting development for the Association and allow members to be recognized by their peers for their knowledge and experience in traumatology. A prerequisite for the Fellowship is continuous and current membership of IADT for at least three years. A Fellow must remain members of the Association. The Fellowship will be based on the submission of case material with follow-up, an assessment of Activity in Traumatology and an online examination. Activity assessment will be by virtue of a point system. Assessed activities in traumatology will include: Contributing to continuing education programs, Lecture presentation, Poster presentations, Organizing traumatology courses, IADT activities and committees, Publications, Translations and community services. News from Japan Past President, Mitsuhiro Tsukiboshi, reports that the Japanese trauma group within the IADT stand at 131. This is the by far the largest group within our Association and most of the credit for this must go to Mitsuhiro s tireless promotion of both IADT and traumatology education. Mitsuhiro is shown here discussing traumatology in his own seminar rooms attached to his practice, a picture of Jens Andreasen is visible on the screen. Mitsuhiro s lectures worldwide on Traumatology, CBCT and Autotransplantation. World Congresses are multi-disciplinary occasions where colleagues with interest in Traumatology meet and discuss research, techniques and philosophy. A nice story coming out of the last World Conference in Rio de Janeiro is that after hearing Mitsuhiro lecture, a Brazilian dental practitioner flew with his son from Brazil to Japan so that Mitsuhiro could perform an autotransplantation for a missing incisor. We are indeed an international traumatology family. Joint Meeting IADT and AAE IADT officers met in Hawaii in April with the Executive Committee of the American Association of Endodontists to discuss items of mutual. President Lars Andersson, Secretary-Treasurer Lamar Hicks and Board Director Nestor Cohenca represented IADT. AAE executives were led by President James Kulild, President- Elect Gary Hartwell and Vice President Robert Roda. Among the discussion points were the 18 th World Congress on Dental Traumatology in Istanbul, Turkey, and the significantly updated IADT website that now includes links to IADT sponsored or affiliated CE courses scheduled in 2013 in San Diego, California, Copenhagen, Denmark and Hangzhou, China. There was agreement to continue cooperation between the two organizations in disseminating, through mutual links on their respective websites, the critical information contained in the updated (2012) IADT Guidelines and the yet to be published AAE guidelines for dental trauma, which will contain prevention and follow-up treatment information for dental trauma in addition to the core IADT Trauma Guidelines. This productive meeting demonstrated the willingness of both organizations to promote the availability of professional and public education in dental traumatology throughout the USA, and around the globe.
