History and Founding members of EAPD
Drs Barry Scheer, Juan Boj, John Roberts and Martin Curzon met in 1988 in Orlando Florida at the AAPD Meeting and decided to entrust Martin Curzon to approach a number of known paediatric dentists in Europe and ask whether they will be willing to join and form the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry.
The following paediatric dentists responded positively in 1989 and therefore they are considered as founding members of EAPD.
