Foreward

At the first meeting of the qualified dental surgeons on the 6th December 1932, which was called to consider the formation of a Dental Association, the Sri Lanka Dental Association was definitely founded and it was decided that this Association be conducted as nearly as possible on the lines of the British Dental Association. It was thought expedient therefore to adopt the BOA's Rules & Regulations temporarily until the Sri Lanka Dental Association was able to modify and adapt them to local conditions.

Consequently it will be seen in the Rules & Regulations herein published that the Memorandum, Articles, By-Laws etc. are taken over almost bodily, except where suitable modifications had to be made to meet local requirements.

We take this opportunity on behalf of the Sri Lanka Dental Association to thank the British Dental Association once again for the encouragement and assistance given us at all times and for so readily accepting our application for affiliation to the parent institution.
