Why it matters for dental

ADA members gain a president-elect whose 2027 term will shape policy on insurance reform, workforce shortages, and practice sustainability; practice owners and DSOs should track these priorities for potential advocacy and compliance impact.

Key points

  • The ADA House of Delegates elected Karin Irani, DDS, JD, as president-elect on at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis.
  • Karin Irani will assume the ADA presidency in 2027 and has served as 13th district trustee, governance committee chair, and audit committee chair.
  • Rhett Raum, DMD, was elected Second Vice President for a one-year term beginning 2026-2027, with prior roles on the ADA Council on Communications and state public affairs workgroup.
  • Irani founded Veterans Smile Day and the Serving Our Smiles Dental Assisting Program, both focused on expanding access to dental care and training.
