Fair Lawn, NJ (October 28, 2011) – MIS Implants Technologies, Ltd., a leading manufacturer of dental implants, will be sponsoring the Humanitarian Award for the first time during the 2011 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Periodontology in Miami Beach, FL.
The Humanitarian Award is presented each year to an Academy member who has given selflessly through extraordinary actions that benefit a deserving population. This year’s award will be presented to G. Todd Smith, DDS.
In 1998, Dr. G. Todd Smith founded the Diabetic Periodontal Treatment Program in the Phoenix Service Unit of the Indian Health Service (IHS), after recognizing a dire need for specialized diabetic treatment for Native Americans. Since then, more than 3,200 people with diabetes have enrolled and been treated though this program. Although Dr. Smith has retired from the IHS, he continues to serve as the IHS national clinical consultant in periodontics.
The award will be presented to Dr. Smith during the General Assembly Business Session on Monday, November 14th, at 5:15 PM. Prior to that, MIS will honor Dr. Smith during an exciting cocktail reception on Sunday, November 13th featuring complimentary cocktails and hors d’oeurvres at Asia de Cuba in the Mondrian Hotel from 7 – 9 pm. All AAP annual meeting attendees are invited*, but must RSVP online by November 9th, 2001, in order to be admitted. Please click http://bit.ly/vj6K3m to RSVP.
