Indian Society of Prosthodontics-Restorative-Periodontics ISPRP.ORG

ISPRP till date

Material science and dental technology are making advances in all aspects of dentistry at an ever increasing pace. Various disciplines are becoming so sophisticated that it is impossible for a dental professional to be updated on all areas of dentistry. One of the largest problems in our profession today is not advancing the science of dentistry, but adequately utilizing the science that already exists. Today, every dental practitioner must have a thorough understanding of the roles of these various disciplines in producing the most desirable results, with the most conservative and biologically sound interdisciplinary treatment plan possible.

The society was founded in November 2007 with a basic motto of maximizing treatment results by optimally synergizing the knowledge, skills and experience of all the above disciplines, and to minimize the frustrating shortcomings typically associated while working as a team.

To treat patients by today�s standards, various dental disciplines have to rely on one another. Open communication and proper coordination of treatment between the different specialties are two key and often overlooked factors while treating complex cases.

The Indian Society of Prosthodontics- Restorative � Periodontics attempts to merge three distinct disciplines that deal with restoration of oral health: Prosthodontics, Restorative and periodontics on one platform. The society was founded in November 2007 with a basic motto of maximizing treatment results by optimally synergizing the knowledge, skills and experience of all the above disciplines, and to minimize the frustrating shortcomings typically associated while working as a team.

Genesis

It had been a long cherished dream of the dental fraternity to have a common platform in our country for the three specialties in dentistry for better interaction, learning and understanding. This dream was made fruitful by forming an association called the Indian Society of Prosthodontics-Restorative-Periodontics (ISPRP).

As this forum grew in strength, the idea was to transform this forum into an association. With this in mind we sat formally with 28 members on 18th Feb, 2007 at Hotel Palkhi in Mangalore.

The first informal talk on forming a forum with these three specialties happened more than 2 years back in 2006. As this forum grew in strength, the idea was to transform this forum into an association. With this in mind we sat formally with 28 members on 18th Feb, 2007 at Hotel Palkhi in Mangalore.

The mentors meet was chaired by Dr.Jayaprasad, Professor in Periodontics and co-chaired by Dr.Harish Shetty , professor in Endodontics.

The meeting was attended by Dr.Pratap M.S, Dr.Sarfaraz Hasan, Dr.Dayakar M.M, Dr.Rammohan Bhat, Dr.Rajaram Naik, Dr.Chetan Hegde, Dr.Rajesh Kashyap, Dr.Rajesh H, Dr.Bennette Fernandes, Dr.Sreekumar, Dr.Mathew K.M, Dr.Mohammed Sageer, Dr.Sayij Haridas, Dr.Mahesh C.P, Dr.Saji P, Dr.Noufal, Dr.Nithin Suvarna, Dr.Arunkumar M.S and Dr.Dhanashekar.

At this meet the members discussed the pros and cons about forming an association, and concluded that it would be very beneficial to the progress of dentistry in this country and finally decided to form an association with name INDIAN SOCIETY OF PROSTHODONTICS RESTORATIVE PERIODONTICS.

The idea was put forward for discussion with many of the seniors who were very supportive and encouraged us with their valuable suggestions for the same, which gave us the courage to go ahead with the formation of this association.

After a thorough discussion, the Constitution and Bye-Laws for the association were drafted. An emblem for the association was also approved. The meeting also selected members to lead the association for the first year.

The associatihtmlwas registered as per the Indian Society Act with a REGISTRATION NO.141/07 on 4th April, 2007.

About Us

The ISPRP is an emerging Dental organization in India. It was founded by small group of Specialists who chose to collaborate with other specialists, dentists and dental team members to promote learning in a friendly, social and interdisciplinary environment. They would meet occasionally for professional meetings in a study group and ultimately felt that in order to provide quality comprehensive dentistry, it was important to interact with providers of all dental disciplines.

Logo

This Logo / Emblem is adopted from emblem of dentistry. The design uses as its central figure a serpent entwined about an ancient Arabian cautery in the manner of the single serpent of Aesculapius, the Greek god of medicine, coiled about a rod. The Greek letter Δ (delta), for dentistry, and the Greek letter Ο (omicron), for odont (tooth) form the periphery of the design.

The figure of three persons attached to the O represents the three specialties of Prosthodontics, Conservative and endodontics and periodontics.

The suggested colors for the Emblem are: the background in white; the letter Ο in dark blue; the letter Δ delta in black/grey; the cautery in navy black/ grey, the serpent in green, and the three persona in Saffron, white and green which are the colors of our national flag.
