About Us

The Compendium was the first dental journal to offer home-study continuing education articles. Peer-reviewed and published monthly, Compendium has been providing cutting-edge continuing education articles as well as noncredit columns written by the world's leading dental clinicians for more than 25 years. Compendium's technique-oriented articles help general practitioners expand their clinical capabilities, promoting practice growth and efficiency. Compendium provides this program in association with the University of Southern California School of Dentistry and the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine.

On December 20th, AEGIS Publications, LLC, completed the acquisition of The Compendium of Continuing Education in Dentistry, Contemporary Esthetics, Contemporary Dental Assisting, and additional titles and assets under the Dental Learning Systems group from Ascend Media.

In addition to the newly acquired titles, AEGIS publishes Inside Dentistry, Functional Esthetics & Restorative Dentistry, The Middle East Journal of Oral Health, Dentistry India, Advanced Esthetics & Interdisciplinary Dentistry and custom clinical and educational programs for the oral care markets.

AEGIS Communications' current management ran Compendium for many years and subsequently created and launched the rest of the acquired titles. According to AEGIS CEO Dan Perkins, "The opportunity to acquire an established brand like Compendium and the other titles was more than just a business opportunity for us. Our team has great affection and familiarity with these brands and look forward to integrating their value into the AEGIS portfolio."
