In addition to his 17 years in the Orthodontic Department, Dr. Bahreman also served as dean of the dental school for five years.  During that time, he planned and organized postgraduate curricula that were the first of its kind in Iran.  The material covered different specialties; it was approved by the minister of higher education one year later; and the courses were instituted in the dental school.

Dr. Bahreman has been a member of a number of dental organizations including the American Association of Orthodontics (AAO), World Federation of Orthodontics, and he is a fellow of the International College of Dentists.  He also founded the Iranian Association of Orthodontists, and served as president at the group’s first meeting in Iran.
