Association of American Dental Schools (AADS)

The Association of American Dental Schools (AADS) was an organization that represented dental schools in the United States and Canada, focusing on advancing dental education, research, and professional standards. It served as a collaborative platform for dental schools to share knowledge, improve curriculum, and promote excellence in dental training. Although it merged with other organizations to form the American Dental Education Association (ADEA) in the late 20th century, AADS played a key role in shaping dental education policies and fostering innovation in preparing future dental professionals.
