Help us honor the life and legacy of Dr. James T. Mellonig

In 2021, periodontology lost one of its greats, Dr. James T. Mellonig. Dr. Mellonig was an educator, researcher, mentor and friend to many, and his presence is keenly missed throughout the specialty. At this year's AAP Annual meeting in Austin, TX, we will gather to pay tribute to the life and legacy of this great man. Join us for the AAP Foundation Mellonig Memorial Dinner.
