HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

Following the introduction of  ultrasonic surgical devices in oromaxillofacial surgery, oral surgery and implantology a group of omfs and dental practitioners from Austria and Germany  formed a study club

to share research and information. This European study club eventually concluded that an inter national organization was essential to foster education and advancement in this field. As a result, the International Academy for Ultrasonic Surgery and Implantology was formed.

  The first Annual Meeting of International Academy for Ultrasonic Surgery and Implantology was held in May, 2007, in Vienna , Austria . An Executive Board was elected to include representatives from omf-surgery, oral surgery, periodontics, prosthodontics, general practice and general medicine.

  The International Academy for Ultrasonic Surgery and Implantology was then associated within a short time period with leading professional national organizations in Germany, Poland, Ukraine, Greece, France, Singapore, Indonesia, Australia and the USA numbers still growing.
