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. 

Join your friends and colleagues this November for the AAP Foundation Hoedown at the iconic Speakeasy Austin for some great music, good food, cocktails and fun times! 

This year's PerioDash was our best yet! Thank you to all who participated and supported the AAP Foundation!

In February 2019, periodontology lost one of its greats - Dr. Mark Setter. Dr. Setter was well-loved and contributed to the field in many ways. He practiced for 30+ years, lectured, and mentored many dentists, periodontists, and students. To honor Dr. Setter's memory, Drs. Jason Souyias, Jason Stoner, and Mitch Godat, along with Mrs. Susan Setter, have worked with the AAP Foundation to establish the Dr. Mark K. Setter Leadership in Periodontology and Dental Implantology Award.
