Schottlander Prizes
The BSSPD, in association with Schottlander offers two annual prizes for the advancement of knowledge in Prosthetic Dentistry.
The main prize will be awarded for an Oral Presentation delivered to the Annual Conference of the Society and is for £1,000. There is one prize available each year.
Schottlander also provide a prize for the best Poster Display. This takes the form of a cash award of £400 for a single winner. If the judges recommend that the prize should be awarded to two posters, the cash award would be £200 each.
Applicants for either prize should submit an abstract relating to their application (500 words maximum) via the annual conference part of the website. The closing date is Midnight on 31st January 2025.
The Schottlander Oral Prize was awarded in 2024 to Dr Rachael Jablonski from the University of Leeds for her presentation entitled "The IMPRESSeD Study: Improving facial prosthesis construction with contactless scanning and digital workflow".
The Schottlander Poster Prize was awarded in 2024 to Dr Tong Wah Lim from the University of Hong Kong for his poster entitled "Effect of ultrasonic cleaner combined with denture cleanser on removable denture microbiome in community-dwelling elderly: a randomized controlled clinical trial".
The BSSPD is greatly indebted to the continued support of Dr Brian Schottlander (above). He and his company have been a longstanding supporter of the society for over twenty years and his keen personal interest in the development of increasing knowledge in prosthodontics for the benefit of patients has been an effective driving force to spur on researchers and clinicians to present for the BSSPD Schottlander Prizes.
