As surgical training becomes a more prevalent part of Prosthodontic residencies, it is imperative that Prosthodontists be properly trained in current surgical techniques.  Although not all Prosthodontists are interested in incorporating surgery into their practices, it is important to understand the modern surgical techniques and protocols so that one can effectively communicate with those surgical colleges who will be performing such treatments. Each Prosthodontist must determine their level of surgical interest and seek out proper training to achieve comfort at that level.  This exciting presentation will show how the thought process and techniques of a Prosthodontist doing surgery may differ from those of our other surgical colleagues.
