Today, prosthodontists are taking on cases that were never before treatable. However, evolving technologies and changing practice models are about to upend decades of thinking about who we are and what we do as specialists. “Transforming Prosthodontics” is designed to bridge the gap between current practice and future trends. Led by Program Chair Dr. Lars Bouma and President Dr. Susan E. Brackett, this meeting will delve into surgical foundations, challenging restorations, digital solutions and much more. The meeting will be packed with focused, intensive education sessions throughout the course of four days — including “Virtual Treatment from Diagnosis to Prosthetic Care,” an im- mersive experience presented live and in 3-D. Dr. Ann Wei, Dr. Arun Sharma, Dr. Sara Hahn and Dr. Fiorella Potesta- Knoll live and practice in the Bay Area. Their recommendations for din- ing, entertainment and activities will help make your visit to San Francisco an unforgettable experience.
