NEW YORK, N.Y., USA: The American Academy of Implant Dentistry recognized three dentists with the highest awards given by the academy during its recent 62nd annual meeting. Named the recipient of the Aaron Gershkoff /Norman Goldberg Memorial Award was Emile Martin, DDS, FAAID, DABOI/ID, of Syracuse, N.Y.

An honored fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and a diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry, Martin is a past president of the AAID and its foundation, as well as a fellow and past president of the Academy of Laser Dentistry. He is the recipient of the Academy of General Dentistry Lifelong Learning and Service Recognition Award.

The 2013 recipient of the Isaih Lew Memorial Research Award was Ulf Me Wikesjö, DDS, DMD, PhD, of Augusta, Ga. He currently serves as professor of periodontics and oral biology at the College of Dental Medicine, Georgia Regents University. Wikesjö is the founding director of Sweden’s Laboratory for Applied Periodontal and Craniofacial Regeneration, and he was the 2008 winner of the prestigious US Prix Galien Award for Best Biotechnology Product. He is a diplomate of the American Board of Periodontiology and is the author of more than 190 original articles, reviews and chapters of scientific journals and texts.

David Resnick, DDS, FAAID, DABOI/ID, of Ada, Minn., was named the recipient of the inaugural Paul Johnson Service Award to acknowledge AAID members whose volunteer efforts have been above and beyond the norm. He is an honored fellow of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and a diplomate of the American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry. Resnick served six years on the membership committee and continues his tenure on the admissions and credentials board. His efforts on behalf of the academy’s Central District have been instrumental in the resurgence of that district.

Established in 1951, the AAID is the only implant organization that offers dental implant credentials recognized by state and federal courts as bona fide. Its membership, which exceeds 4,600, includes general dentists, oral surgeons, periodontists and prosthodontists from across the United States and in 40 other countries.
