American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) Exam prep

Accreditation Written Examination tests foundational knowledge in cosmetic dentistry. Individuals who are knowledgeable in all phases of cosmetic dentistry are expected to pass the written examination. Failure to pass the written examination indicates that an examinee would likely benefit from further education in cosmetic dentistry prior to attempting the submission of clinical cases. The written examination is administered at the Annual AACD Scientific Session, at Castle Testing Centers, and at additional dates as directed by the ABCD. The annual scientific session is held in the spring at different locations and is publicized well in advance of the date.

The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), founded in December 1984 by Dr. Jack Kammer and Dr. Jeff Morley, is the world's largest organization for cosmetic dental professionals.

Laura Kelly became its first female president in 2007.[1]

The AACD overall mission is as follows: offering educational opportunities; promoting and supporting an accreditation credential; serving a forum for the exchange of knowledge and ideas; and providing information to the public and the profession.

The AACD includes over 7000 practitioners, educators, researchers, and laboratory technicians from 70 countries. This global perspective allows AACD members to gather information from the international field of cosmetic dentistry and to understand the different methods used internationally.

In 1983, Dr. Morley saw the need for a standardized credential in the newly emerging field of cosmetic dentistry and led the formation of AACD's Accreditation Program in 1985. With the help of Dr. Michael Miller, the AACD developed an examination process for cosmetic dentistry, the first of its kind within the dental profession, and began offering postgraduate certification in the field in 1986. AACD Accreditation has grown into the preeminent cosmetic dentistry testing standard within dentistry, including written exams and submission of actual case work in specific cosmetic dentistry disciplines. The credential is available to both dentists and laboratory technicians, worldwide. While the American Dental Association has not recognized cosmetic dentistry as a specialty, a landmark court case in Florida, Ducoin v Viamonte determined that AACD Accreditation is a legitimate credential that can be announced by a dentist to the public.
