Over 1.5 days, you will enjoy relevant education in advanced prosthodontics,

interdisciplinary instruction led by world-renowned experts and networking and social

events designed to inspire good conversation and build worthwhile relationships.

The APS is the only organization that combines the discipline, specialty and technology

of prosthodontics. Our membership includes specialists, general dentists, certi�ed

being the singular organization with unrestricted membership where all that is required

is an interest in prosthodontics. There is no better organization than the APS to bring

together the talent, the insight and the experience of practicing dentists, researchers,

dental school faculty and administrators and technologists in one meeting devoted to

the advancement of prosthodontics.

Graduate ProsthodonticProgram

The APS is focused on the future of prosthodontics. With that focus in mind, the APS has attracted an exciting fi eld of graduate student candidates for the 2019 Research Competition. Recruited by Dr. John Ball, they will be

presenting original work over a wide range of topics. The mission of this program is to provide an annual forum for graduate students to foster high-quality research, enhance oral presentation skills and prepare for the opportunity to publish in the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry. Furthermore, the APS welcomes the opportunity to develop stronger

ties to prosthodontic graduate students and cultivate their future leadership in the Society.

Digital Poster Presentations Program

The Poster Program will be held in conjunction with themeeting on Thursday, February 21

Foyer between St. Gallen and Montreux Ballrooms

Posters will be digitally displayed in the foyer and within a searchable, online gallery following the conference. Refer to the Digital Poster Presentation handout for a listing of

The 2019 Digital Poster Presentation Program at its 91st Annual Meeting, February 21-22, 2019, at the Swissôtel Chicago, is designed to showcase new research and innovative ideas from
