Associated groups must...

1. Meet the code of ethics according to IADR ( IADR and AADR Boards of Directors (January, 2000))
2. Provide educational courses based on IASD standards to students, assistants, dentists or others interested in sports dentistry.
3. Apply evidence based dental research while following a scientific board of their own or that of IASD.  
4. Congregate annually to organize activities of the society and consider member affairs.   
5. Elect a president and vice president, as well as delegate 2 persons to represent their group in the IASD congress (meeting every four years). 
6. Consist of a minimum of 50 members.
7. Contribute 15% of their collected member fees to IASD. 
8. Generate an application for IASD that contemplates why they are joining and acknowledges the requirements of associated groups.   

Associated groups that fail to follow one or more of the requirements could terminate their association with IASD.  

Just like 30 years ago the Osteointegration Academy was created to highlight the importance of the technique in implantology, Drs. Wilfried Engelke, Sandra Kahn and Holger Claas founded the Up-lock Academy in Witzenhausen in 2021. 

The goal is to support a paradigm shift in dentistry, medicine and related disciplines. Up-lock breathing  is a new concept that describes the ideal position for regenerative breathing rest, and as a critical concept requires a new society. 

The underlining concept is that the position of the tongue at rest cannot be understood by the active muscle actions, that is the physics of solid body mechanics, but it requires the consideration of the dynamic of fluids. That is the key to understand Up-lock breathing.  

The Up-lock Academy is responsible for protocol knowledge and technique updates.
