113 The science of prosthodontics has several theories and beliefs of which many are unsubstantiated. The clinical practice and patient acceptance to prosthesis are variable. The difficulty arises on the procedure to teach or adapt and the lack of consensus on different concepts can affect future training and patient care. The harmony among various thoughts and beliefs can be obtained and resol...

An accelerated technique for casting a direct-pattern post and core restoration for use in fixed prosthodontics has been previously described. Similar techniques for use in removable prosthodontics show potential for clinical use, specifically for the fabrication of radicular stud overdenture attachments and their corresponding copings. The procedure uses a chairside technique and readily avail...

Dr. Enrique Kogan received his dental degree from the Universidad Tecnologica de Mexico in 1978. He went on to complete a specialty program in fixed prosthodontics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City from 1978 to 1980. From 1980 to 1998 he was a professor at the Universidad Tecnologica de Mexico, and from 2004 he was a visiting professor at the Nova Southeastern University School of Denti...

Previous research regarding dental students has found modest predictive value in preclinical didactic course grades in predicting clinical performance, but systematic assessment of students' feedback on their perceived preparedness has received little attention as a preclinical assessment methodology. The aim of this study was to assess the perceptions of the dental students at one U.S. academi...

Augmented reality refers to: “a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on user’s view of the real world, thus providing composite view”. It has become resourceful in many fields including dentistry and medicine. Currently augmented is restricted to education, maxillofacial surgeries implantology but further research development can expand its uses other critical areas. In prost...
