IADDM Board Members History

In 2014, Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Joerg Strub initiated the idea to found the International Academy for Digital Dental Medicine (IADDM). The founding meeting took place at Rottach-Egern, Germany on July 23, 2014. It is the goal of IADDM to promote the advancement, to foster convergence towards the highest standard in all facets throughout the dental community worldwide and to disseminate knowledge and understanding of digital dental medicine. Based on these goals the president’s aims are 1) to attract and increase the number of Active and Associate Members to a respectful size, 2) to involve national as well as sponsoring organizations to be part of IADDM and 3) to position IADDM as a brand and as a not-to-be-missed-international-digital-event in the dental community.
