Fellows have accepted the challenge to keep abreast of advances in dentistry for the benefit of patients and the betterment of dentistry. They serve as mentors and leaders to other dentists pursuing dental education. They set examples in their communities with their hard work, concern and involvement. The ABGD exhibits the same standards as the FAGD.
