Therefore 2015 was the year of return for the bsspd to the capital after a 14 year wait. The title and theme of the 2015 conference was: Confronting the Grey Areas. The conference was organised under the presidency of Peter Briggs with a strong line-up of speakers who were asked to explore the areas of grey within Prosthodontics. For the first time the conference was run on a Friday and Saturday under the direction of Council toy attract more primary care practitioners. The venue at the British library allowed for 250 delegates in the main tiered auditorium with two additional break out rooms (connected with AV to main lecture theatre) to hold additional delegates allowing for a maximum of 340 delegates. The conference speakers agreed to make PDFs of their presentations available for bsspd.org. The Postgraduate Dental Dean for London Dental Education Training (HEE) and her Patch Deans felt that the academic programme for the Friday was particularly relevant to the educational needs of the London Dental Foundation trainees. They were particularly keen for their DFs to experience the society debate on the implications of the phase down of dental amalgam.
