NewsPosted by: Dental Design 13th March 2024
The Association of Dental Implantology (ADI) has expressed deep sadness in announcing that its former President, Dr Stephen Jacobs, has passed away.
The message released by the ADI explains remarks upon how Stephen was not only a highly respected, highly regarded and celebrated colleague but also a dear friend to many at the ADI and the wider dental community.
‘His presence brightened our lives. His kindness, dedication and smile touched us all, leaving an indelible mark in our minds and hearts.
‘Stephen was integral to the ADI right from the early days, actively involved in committees and shaping the direction of Implant Dentistry in the UK and later becoming its President in 2009-2011. He was an inspiring educator running courses nationally and internationally and has mentored numerous dentists on their implant journey. He was a dedicated family man, an innovator being at the forefront of implant dentistry from the early 90’s and was one of only a few dentists being honoured with a Fellowship from The American Academy of Osseointegration and more recently an Outstanding Service Award from the same institution. A consummate professional, Stephen embodied everything the ADI stands for. His humour and endearing smile will be sorely missed. We were lucky to have him with us.
‘Stephen was an exceptional human being who made a positive impact on all those he met.
‘The ADI sends deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy to his 3 daughters and family.’
