The John F. Johnston Society for the advancement of Prosthodontics is pleased to announce a comprehensive two-and-a-half day program on all aspects of prosthodontics. Speakers at this year’s program include many internationally recognized prosthodontists with career emphasis in private practice and academics.


The John F. Johnston Society was established to promulgate the high ideals of Dr. John F. Johnston in the learning, teaching and practicing of fixed and removable prosthodontics. Although membership in the society is limited to those who have completed or are enrolled in the graduate program in the Department of Prosthodontics at Indiana University School of Dentistry or are faculty responsible for the teaching of that program, attendance at the refresher courses sponsored by the Society is open to any interested practitioner.


In addition to sponsoring activities that promote the dissemination of new knowledge in the field, the Society awards scholarships on an annually recurring basis to graduate students enrolled in the advanced prosthodontics program at the School of Dentistry.

Specifically, the John F. Johnston Scholarship, the I. Lester Furnas Award, the Carl J. and Ida A. Andres Scholarship Award, and other awards as determined by the executive council are given to graduate students in recognition of outstanding performance.
