The Society for Color and Appearance in Dentistry (SCAD) is conducting 2 competitions for excellence in dental technology this year.

The Larsen-Chu Award is open to junior dental technicians with fewer than 10 years in practice. Details on the award can be found here: Larsen-Chu Award Application Form and Larsen-Chu Award Tooth Pictures.

The Virtuoso Award is open to dental technicians with more than 10 years in practice. Details can be found here: Virtuoso Award Application Form and Virtuoso Award Tooth Pictures.

Applicants will have to duplicate 1 natural tooth based on pictures posted on the website. This can be done on a die or fabricated solid (root is optional). The applicants will then complete the form and submit Jpeg images of their work.

The CDT Award Committee, chaired by Aki Yoshida, RDT, will review the submissions and send acceptance/rejection notices.

Authors of accepted submissions must attend the annual meeting and display their work.

The submission deadline is August 15.
