The association was founded in 1976 and it was felt that there was a need for a specialist association to develop an understanding and improve communication in the field of Prosthodontics among European countries.
It was felt that this would hugely improve the delivery and specialism of Prosthodontics in Europe and would benefit patient care in this field.
The first meeting of the EPA was held in London in 1977 and at the time, 122 delegates attended it.From such humble beginnings, the EPA currently has in excess of 700 members from 50 countries from all over the world. The annual conference is the main feature of the EPA and this is held in various European countries.
