The Gershkoff-Goldberg Award was established by the American Academy of Implant Dentistry to honor one individual each year who exemplifies the commitment of Aaron Gershkoff and Norman Goldberg to implant dentistry and keeps their memory alive.
As cofounders and initial presidents of the AAID, Drs. Gershkoff and Goldberg developed the subperiosteal implant. They brought dentists from around the world together to form the AAID. They wrote the nation’s earliest textbook on implant dentistry and presented the first program on oral implantology at an American Dental Association annual meeting.
The Aaron Gershkoff Memorial Award was established in 1973. The name was amended in 2013 to the Gershkoff-Goldberg Memorial Award after the passing of Norman Goldberg in late 2012.
Nominees must demonstrate one or more of the following:
• Documented, exemplary service to the AAID
• Exceptional contributions to the field of implant dentistry
• National and/or international recognition as an outstanding implant dentist
• Distinguished career in the field or in an allied science
• Consummate professionalism
Award recipients are selected by the Past Presidents’ Council. To submit a nominee for consideration, please complete the form below. Nominations shall be made by the Past Presidents and voting members in good standing.
