The Foundations of the EPA

At a meeting on the 28th March 1976 in the School of Pythagoras St John’s in Cambridge, during the 23rd Annual Meeting of the British Society for the Study of Prosthetic Dentistry, the inauguration of the European Prosthodontic Association was considered.

The following is a brief account of the discussion that took place:

The need for the Association

(i) There is a need to develop understanding and improve communication in the field of Prosthodontics among European countries.

(ii) Information is required on the undergraduate and postgraduate teaching of Prosthodontics in Europe. This is particularly true within the EU, where Specialist Practitioners from one country may soon be able to practice in another.

(iii) There is a need for information on the changing conditions in the field of social security as they affect Prosthodontics in other countries. A concept of the situation over the next 25 years should be developed.

Organisation of an Association Meeting

(i) Meetings of the European Prosthodontic Association should be held and the venue should change from country to country.

(ii) The organisation and administration of the EPA meeting should be carried out by the national prosthodontic association of the host country in conjunction with its own National Prosthodontics meeting (annual conference).

(jii) In order to promote interest and communication, correspondents should be nominated in each country.

The Meeting Programme

(i) Prosthodontics should include complete and partial dentures crown and bridge work and maxillofacial prosthodontics.

(ii) English was suggested as the official language for the meeting. It was also suggested that the official language should be that of the host country with English as the second language, with simultaneous translation.

(iii) A record of presentations at each meeting should be made and published in the form of Proceedings.

At the conclusion of the meeting it was decided by an overwhelming majority that a European Prosthodontic Association should be formed.

The following year the inaugural meeting was held at a conference venue in Regents Park London , attended by 122 delegates.

In 2016 the membership numbered around 770 members.

EPA History

1. The Association

The association shall be called the European Prosthodontic Association. Its objectives shall be to further knowledge and promote the teaching and practice of Prosthodontics in Europe.

The association shall consist of Ordinary and Honorary Members.

Ordinary membership shall be available to those doctors, dentists, allied dental professionals and scientists, from whatever country, who profess an interest in Prosthodontics and shall be by election. Prospective members should make a formal application indicating their special interest in Prosthodontics.

A list of applicants for membership will be posted on a prominent notice board during the conference for consideration by the delegates. The names of the applicants will be presented as a formal agenda item at the Annual Business Meeting and be approved by popular vote by the members present.

Continuous EPA membership is a requirement to be included in the List of Active EPA Recognised Specialists in Prosthodontics. Applicants for inclusion in the List of Active EPA Recognised Specialists in Prosthodontics will be approved only by the EPA Specialist Committee (EPASC).

Honorary membership may be conferred on those who have rendered distinguished service to the furtherance of prosthodontic knowledge or have otherwise advanced the interests of prosthodontics and the Association. Honorary membership should be recommended by Council and be by unanimous election of the Association at the Annual Business Meeting.

Shall be payable on admission to membership at an Annual Business Meeting and annually at the date of the annual conference thereafter. The amount of subscription shall be recommended by the Board of Trustees for approval by Council and subsequently approved by a majority vote of members at the Annual Business Meeting. All members, (with the exception of Honorary Life Members) must pay their annual membership subscription promptly. The Honorary Treasurer will send one reminder to those members who have not paid their membership subscription by 1st day of January following the conference.

Any member whose subscription is in arrears for two complete subscription years shall be deemed to have forfeited membership and must be re-elected at a business meeting and pay the appropriate subscription. Their names will be removed from the membership databases and from the web-site.

The finances of the Association are governed by the European Prosthodontic Trust, which is recognised as a charitable organisation for tax purposes in the UK. There will be five Trustees appointed to the Board. At least three Trustees are required to constitute a Board of Trustees Meeting. One new Trustee will be appointed by the Board annually and the most Senior Trustee will retire annually. Trustees may serve a maximum of five consecutive years The Honorary Treasurer is also a Trustee, ex officio, and the Honorary Secretary attends the Board for the purpose of taking minutes and forming a link with Council. Members may serve more than one five year term but not sequentially. The Board must meet at least once per year with the most Senior Trustee present taking the Chair. The duties of the Trustees are set out in the Trust Deed which is held by the Honorary Secretary If, for any reason, one of the five Trustee places becomes vacant during any year of office the remaining Trustees may co-opt a new Trustee from the EPA membership for the remaining part of that year.

This shall consist of the President, a First President Elect who will succeed in office and a Second President Elect who will be next in succession. Each President after their year of office will remain on Council as Immediate Past President for one year followed by further office for five years as a Past President. The Chair of the EPASC is also a voting member of Council.

Three elected members, who must be EPA members, shall also sit on the Council and hold office for a three year term. They shall not serve for more than three years in succession except under exceptional circumstances and only with the approval of Council. One elected member should be replaced each year.

In exceptional circumstances, Council may appoint up to three co-opted members from the membership, who should hold office for as long as their expertise is needed, but are not voting members of Council.

The President, the Honorary Secretary and the Honorary Treasurer shall constitute the Executive Committee which shall conduct the business of the Association in the intervals between Council Meetings.

These shall be to conduct the affairs of the Association with equity and arrange for its meetings as conveniently as possible for members and in accordance with the objectives of the Association.

Prior to the final year of service of an officer, a successor should be elected who would serve on Council and learn from/assist the retiring officer as required.

Nominations for a future President Elect shall be made, in sufficient time for proper consideration by the Council, to the Honorary Secretary. Nominees must signify that they are willing to serve as President of the Association to provide leadership for the Association and for the Annual Conference. Council is not obliged to appoint any candidate that they consider is not of sufficient merit to warrant the honour of becoming EPA President. The name(s) of the successful candidates shall be announced at the Annual Business Meeting together with the results of any election. Council would not normally consider future Presidents and venues more than four years in advance of the proposed conference.

The Honorary Secretary shall invite nominations from the membership for one ordinary member of Council each year. If more than one nomination is received Council will decide the successful candidate, by ballot if necessary. If no nominations are received by the Honorary Secretary before the Annual Conference, members of Council may propose a new ordinary member for Council at the Council meeting that precedes the Annual Conference.
