History:
The Iowa Society of Periodontology was founded in 1971. A
steering committee consisting of Drs. C. Mahlon Fraleigh, Philip
A. Lainson, Steven H. Cooper, William Rotton, Robert Burns, Dr.
Larry Nash, and Nhak Hee Kim met at the Iowa City University Athletic
Club and to write by-laws and elect the first Iowa Society of Periodontology
president---Dr. Steven H. Cooper, Davenport, Iowa.
Initial ISP goals included dissemination of periodontal diagnostic
and therapeutic strategies to Iowa general practitioners and dental
hygienists. The ISP members have presented education programs and
sponsored lectures and conferences given by national and international
periodontal experts. Early ISP projects included periodontal and
blood pressure screening examinations for attendees of the Iowa
Dental Association Annual meeting. Spring and fall continuing education
programs by members of the society evolved into a major Midwest
periodontal conference, the Midlands Periodontal Conference. Sponsorship
of this conference alternates each November between the Iowa and
Nebraska Societies of Periodontology. The Midlands Periodontal Conference
and other society programs have drawn internationally respected
periodontal experts including: Drs. Jan L. Lindhe, Roy C. Page,
Jan H. Egelberg, Raymond A. Yukna, Edward P. Allen, Kenneth C. Kornman,
Jay S. Siebert, William J. Killoy, Robert G. Schallhorn, Terry D.
Rees, Charles English, Robert M. Pick, J. Bernard Kieser, Greg Seymour,
Roland M. Meffert, Anna and Gordon Pattison, Michael J. McDevitt,
Joan Otomo-Corgel, Frank Serio
In 2001, the Iowa Society of Periodontology celebrated its 30th
anniversary. Many early members remain active and supportive of
the ISP's leadership in the advancement of periodontal disease management.
With Periodontists placing dental implants, regenerating loss tissues
and managing interrelationships of periodontal and systemic disease,
the role of Iowa Society of Periodontology educating the dental
professionals of Iowa will continue to advance periodontal therapeutic
knowledge.
