ISMR History

In the late 1980’s John Beumer, Director of Maxillofacial Prosthetics UCLA, Los
Angeles, California, Ian Zlotolow, Director of Dental Service, Department of
Surgery, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York, New York and Sal
Esposito, Director of Maxillofacial Prosthetics at the Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland,
Ohio met and decided to conduct an international symposium devoted to the
art and science of maxillofacial prosthetics. Seed money for this initial meeting
was provided by their respective institutions and by the Borchard Foundation.
More than 400 individuals from more than 30 countries attended this initial
conference. The funds contributed by the Borchard Foundation were used to
support the travel and lodging expenses of 30 professionals from
underdeveloped countries.

The meeting was so successful and well attended that Drs. Beumer, Zlotolow
and Esposito formed an international organization devoted to maxillofacial
rehabilitation. They decided to conduct the meetings every two years and to
rotate them between North America, Europe and Asia. The International
Congress of Maxillofacial Prosthetics was then established and incorporated in
October of 1996.

As the organization developed, it was understood that professional groups
other than prosthodontists contributing to head and neck related care wished
to participate in the organization. In recognizing this and the need to create an
international organization that brought a diversity of professional groups
together, the organization was renamed the International Society for
Maxillofacial Rehabilitation (ISMR) on January 7th, 2002. In 2008 it was decided
that the ISMR needed to be completely restructured to reflect and embrace the
interdisciplinary nature of head and neck related care. The restructuring also
needed to address development of a future-oriented organization that actively
engaged involvement of the best young minds for the future. The decision was
also made that, as a fundamental principle, these best young minds needed to
be actively engaged in the operation of the ISMR.
