In its continuing efforts to serve the dental community,
Quintessence provides the latest scientific and clinical
information in formats designed to meet the varying
needs of busy professionals: books, journals, videotapes,
CD-ROMs, DVDs, and symposia. Dental practitioners, researchers,
and students all have come to rely on Quintessence for
timely articles, for clearly written and superbly illustrated
books, and for texts by world-renowned experts. As people
from around the world have come to expect, the Quintessence
name represents a commitment to quality that is unsurpassed
in the dental publishing world.
Founded in 1950 in Berlin, Germany, the company initially
published only German-language journals and books in
dentistry. The first English-language journal, Quintessence
International, was launched in 1969 following the opening
of the U.S. office in Chicago. Since then the company
has expanded its operations worldwide, establishing
additional offices in Tokyo, London, Paris, Barcelona,
Sao Paulo, Prague, Warsaw, Moscow and New Delhi. In
addition, publishing partners in Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria,
Greece, Korea, Turkey, Indonesia, and Malaysia oversee
the publication of translated editions of Quintessence
books and journals.
Today the company's publishing activities encompass
38 professional journals, more than 900 book titles
(many in multiple languages), and about 200 videotapes.
Addressing the education and information needs of both
the beginning dental student and the experienced practitioner,
Quintessence publications have earned many prestigious
international prizes and awards over the company's 50-year
history.
In addition to its various publishing activities, Quintessence
regularly sponsors continuing education seminars in
various parts of the world, ranging from small-scale
workshops to large international conferences that attract
more than 3,000 participants.
