Aims and Objectives

The British Society of Periodontology was founded in 1949 "to promote for the benefit of the public the art and science of Dentistry, and in particular the art and science of Periodontology and in furtherance thereof........, to advance all aspects of Periodontology and to promote improvements in the teaching of the same."

The BSP awards prizes for research into periodontology, both for undergraduate and postgraduate students, on an annual basis.

Meetings are held in the Spring and Autumn of each year. Regional groups have been set up to provide educational meetings and courses for GDPs and periodontists at a number of centres across the UK.
