Gnathology is the science that treats of the biologics of the masticatory system; that is the morphology, anatomy, histology, physiology and the therapeutics of the oral organ, especially the jaws and teeth and the vital relations of this organ to the rest of the body (B.B. McCollum).

The International Academy of Gnathology Europe, a non-profit organisation, is a section of the International Academy of Gnathology and was founded in 1971 by a circle of outstanding European Dentists devoted to excellence in treatment of the masticatory system. Today it represents a forum of Dentists, Dental Technicians and other medical professionals, who are devoted to enhance and maintain highest quality in dental practice according to the principles of Gnathology.

Main purposes of the IAG is to promote lectures and post-graduate courses in Gnathology, to promote interest in Gnathology, to encourage scientific progress in dental sciences and to disseminate the current knowledge and state of the art of high quality dentistry. The official language of the Academy is English.

Currently one major 2-3 days Annual Meeting per year serves to maintain closer contacts among members and associates and to enable exchange of knowledge and actual state of the art in different fields of dental treatment procedures. Internationally outstanding lecturers present their findings and new technologies in a practical way.

The meetings are organized in alternating European countries and cities. Local promotion and the chance for participants to get acquainted with treatment procedures and techniques in different countries of the world are essential objectives of these European Meetings.

Social events and excursions are integrated in the annual meetings for the purpose of promotion of friendship among likeminded colleagues.
