PICTURE PERFECT This painting of dentist Mr Eilerston of Dingwall, Scotland, was produced on commission by his patient, Michael Forbes. RIBENA STILL TOOTH KIND, SAYS BDA The BDA has
challenged the Advertising Standards Authority's ruling against Ribena ToothKind, a product accredited by the Association. In its decision, the ASA said that the claim that 'Ribena
ToothKind does not encourage tooth decay' was misleading. The BDA disagrees and says its view is backed up by 1200 pages of peer-reviewed research data. The BDA continue to support
fully the dental health claims made for Ribena ToothKind and validated by its Food and Drinks Accreditation Panel. SmithKline Beecham has been granted permission of the Court to apply for
judicial review of the ASA's decision. Dr Geoff Craig, Chair of the BDA's Health and Science Committee, said: 'The ASA's decision will not affect the BDA's support
for a soft drink that dentists can recommend with confidence.' INVESTORS IN HAMPSHIRE Hamish Morton (far left) and his team from Birchfield Dental Practice in Hampshire celebrate after
being recognised as an Investor in People. SPECSAVERS ON HOLD Specsavers, the market leaders in optics, has put dentistry plans on hold after a thorough investgation of prospects in the
dentistry market, and has decided instead to concentrate on its expansion plans for international and UK optics. The group's dental business development director Tony Langham and his
colleague Stuart Chidgey have purchased in a management buyout the dental body corporate and the three practices in Devon and Wiltshire which Specsavers had acquired as part of its market
analysis. The enterprise will be run as community dental centres. FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT FOR BDTA Ann Sterry has been elected as the first female president in the 76 year history of the
British Dental Trade Organisation. Ann took over from Mr Brian Schottlander at the Association's Annual conference in Gloucester in July. Ann works as European Director of Colgate Oral
Pharmaceuticals and has won the backing of her company to support her during her year of office with the Association. 'It will be a busy schedule,' says Ann, 'but I am looking
forward to the challenge.' RIGHTS AND PERMISSIONS Reprints and permissions ABOUT THIS ARTICLE CITE THIS ARTICLE News & Notes. _Br Dent J_ 189, 166 (2000).
