Welcome message from the president

The warmest greetings to you and welcome to the website of the Academy of Richard .V Tucker Study Clubs. Our Academy is an affiliation of operating study clubs around the world including the United States, Canada, Germany, Italy, Peru and Japan. An operating study club means we work on patients under the supervision of an experienced mentor. This is the classic way dentistry has been taught beginning with G.V. Black and is continued to this day. The Study Club method is the most efficient method of actually incorporating the learned techniques and theories into the daily practice of dentistry.

This site was developed for members and non-members alike to increase the awareness and knowledge of the technical aspects of using cast and direct gold, the oldest and most versatile dental materials available today. No passwords are necessary to navigate the site and we encourage you to look for free information about cast gold, where to learn more, and find a Tucker trained dentist near you. The site is a continually updated so check frequently as we incorporate new materials to enhance our website.

Maureen Andrea DMS, President of the Academy of RV Tucker Study Clubs
