In 1983, Dr. Morley saw the need for a standardized [[Credentialing|credential]] in the newly emerging field of cosmetic dentistry and led the formation of AACD's Accreditation Program in 1985. With the help of Dr. Michael Miller, the AACD developed an examination process for cosmetic dentistry, the first of its kind within the dental profession, and began offering postgraduate certification in the field in 1986. AACD Accreditation has grown into the preeminent cosmetic dentistry testing standard within dentistry, including written exams and submission of actual case-work in specific cosmetic dentistry disciplines. The credential is available to both [[dentist]]s and [[Laboratory Technician|laboratory technicians]], worldwide. While the [[American Dental Association]] has not recognized cosmetic dentistry as a specialty, a landmark court case in Florida, [[Ducoin v viamonte|Ducoin v Viamonte]] determined that AACD Accreditation is a legitimate credential that can be announced by a dentist to the public.
