Schottlander Prizes

The BSSPD, in association with Schottlander offers two annual prizes for the advancement of knowledge in Prosthodontics.

The main prize will be awarded for a twenty-minute Oral Presentation delivered to the Annual Conference of the Society and is for £750.

Schottlander also provide a prize for the best Poster Display / Table demonstration. This takes the form of a cash award of £150 for a single winner. If the judges recommend that the prize should be awarded to two posters, the cash award would be £100 each.

Prize winners will receive a certificate and are invited to a dinner hosted by Brian Schottlander usually in London.

Applicants for either prize should submit an abstract relating to their application (max 250 words maximum) via the members-only part of the website.

Please note that some small amendments have been made to the regulations governing the Schottlander Oral Presentation. These have been implemented in response to feedback from previous assessors and Council members. The changes to the regulations have been agreed between the President, Secretary and Awards Administrator in consultation with Dr. Brian Schottlander.

Deadlines for Submission:

Oral Presentation: 1st February 2012
Poster Presentation: 1st March 2012

The Schottlander Oral Prize was then awarded to Andreas Artopoulos (above) from Kings College London for his talk on "A metrological investigation of the dimensional stability of three permanent denture base materials".

The Schottlander Poster Prize was awarded to Salehi Rabbani from Kings College London for her poster "An in vitro comparative study of the retentive forces and wear of the Locator attachment system". Unfortunately Salehi was unable to attend so Bob Clark, Andrej Juszczyk and David Radford accepted the award on her behalf.
