About this section

The Odontology Section’s purpose is to provide a unified forum for the continuing professional development for all those working in the field of oral and dental health care sciences by organising a broad range of educational activities. It aims to encourage the participation of trainees in the Section's activities and the RSM as a whole and to commemorate historical links between the RSM, the Odontological Society of London and the Royal College of Surgeons.

Sleep and Dentistry series

The gap between Medicine and Dentistry has narrowed, especially with the synergy between oral health and overall health. This series will explore one particular area of emerging interest - the important role that dentistry plays in the world of Sleep Disorders.

Autumn webinars in Restorative Dentistry

The British Society for Restorative Dentistry & the Royal Society of Medicine bring you four evening webinars in Restorative Dentistry. These webinars will see internationally renowned experts in their field discuss their specialty subjects and partake in interactive Q&A's with delegates. The final webinar will see skilled trainees claim prizes for their research and presentations.

This series is free for RSM members and BSRD members.
