The Philippine Association of Oral and Maxillo-Facial Surgeons, Inc. (PAOMFS) was conceived in late 2011, formed in early 2012 and formally incorporated with the SEC in January 2013. Although the Association was formed in 2012, it is in reality the off-shoot of The Philippine Board of Oral and Maxillo-Facial Surgeons, which had been formed in 1994 and incorporated in 1995, but eventually became defunct.
