The Centennial: Celebrating the first 100 years of the College
The International College of Dentists, conceived in 1920 by two visionary leaders, is today the 12,000 strong, leading global honor society for dentists supporting hundreds of humanitarian and educational projects worldwide.
In honor of a century of service to mankind, recognition of outstanding dentists, and the pursuit of international cooperation, College Fellows, representing 122 member countries, will participate in worldwide celebrations, culminating with the 2021 meeting of the International Council in Nagoya, Japan (the country where the ICD was conceived), where The Symposium on College Humanitarian and Educational Projects will be held along with the International Induction Ceremony and Gala Banquet.
