The Polish Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (PASD) is a national scientific society founded in 2013 to advance pediatric dental care through education, research, and professional collaboration. Bringing together clinicians, academics, and specialists across Poland, PASD promotes evidence-based practice, supports scientific exchange, and strengthens interdisciplinary cooperation. The Academy organizes an annual national conference, workshops, and educational initiatives, contributing to high standards of care for children and adolescents and actively engaging in international projects.

The International Association of Dental Traumatology (IADT) is a global organization committed to improving the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of traumatic dental injuries. Through collaboration with dental and medical professionals, educators, public health institutions, sports organizations, industry partners, and governmental agencies, IADT works to elevate standards of care and increase global awareness of dental trauma.

The Association promotes both clinical and experimental research, develops evidence-based treatment recommendations, and supports the integration of dental trauma management into undergraduate and postgraduate education. The IADT has produced Guidelines for the Treatment of Traumatic Dental Injuries, widely recognized as the gold standard by dental societies and clinicians worldwide.

In 2015, the IADT introduced the Fellowship in Dental Traumatology, a professional credential that acknowledges advanced expertise and commitment to excellence in dental trauma care.

Every two years, the Association hosts the World Congress on Dental Traumatology, a leading international forum for scientific exchange, professional development, and multidisciplinary collaboration in the field.
