SCADA

The SCADA program advances our collective commitment to empower the next generation of dental leaders. By showcasing students’ research, and recognizing their passion for discovery and innovation, we will fuel the future of dental care.

Every U.S. Dental School has been invited to select a student to participate in the 2024 SCADA event. The competition will take place at the IADR/AADOCR/CADR General Session & Exhibition.

U.S. Dental Students: An invitation to participate in the program has been sent to each CODA accredited U.S. dental school. The school must confirm its participation by completing an electronic form, and agreeing to work with the student participant and ensure compliance with the programs rules and regulations. A Dentsply Sirona representative will contact the identified Faculty Advisor to finalize details and assist the student in fulfilling the requirements of the program.
