Highlights

The Canadian Academy of Restorative Dentistry and Prosthodontics (CARDP) provides knowledge and expertise through Annual Scientific Meeting Symposiums, outstanding continuing education programs for Dentists who wish to improve their professional lives and the wellbeing of the patients they serve.

CARDP is comprised of Dentists from across the country as well as the USA. The membership includes both General Dentists and Prosthodontists who share a passion for excellence in Restorative, Prosthetic and Implant Dentistry. The Academy moves its Annual Scientific Meeting venue to various select cities across the country in order to foster and maintain a national representation. 

Dr. Arcache believes that organized dentistry needs to move away from the rigidities of knowledge sharing and knowledge translation. The profession of dentistry should become a campfire where knowledge is diffused in a more collegial and friendly manner. 

CARDP fosters a spirit of peer-to-peer learning and offers a great potential of mentorship which is becoming the key to learning and knowledge acquisition in the coming 10 to 20 years. 

Next Year’s CARDP meeting will take place in Montreal, September 26 to 28, 2018. You can access more information about CARDP and its upcoming meeting by visiting their website
