The Colorado Prosthodontic Society Board of Directors and I would like to welcome you to the 2010-2011 seminar series. Our continuing education program of six seminars includes speakers of the highest caliber from truly diverse professional, academic, and cultural backgrounds.

Our first speaker on September 20th is Dr. David Alleman. Dr. Alleman will present his “Six Lessons of Biomimetic Dentistry,” a new approach to restoring teeth. His approach is something most haven’t seen before. I am also excited to welcome Dr. Norton from England and his presentation on the “BioManagment Complex (BMC)” and its effect on clinical outcomes. We have heard a lot about the downfalls of mini-implants, but Dr. Shatkin in November will present how he has placed thousands with excellent success and present his approach to this controversial discipline. Dr. Sascha Jovanovic needs no introduction and will speak to us about several Implant related topics. He is a highly sought after speaker and I am proud to have him. We have a special treat with Dr. David Clark and his 3D lecture (yes including the glasses) about the “End of the GV Black Era,” and how composites could perhaps be better placed, and an intensive discussion on the devastating crack propagation in teeth. Our seminar series will be completed by Dr. Chris Brady in March and his presentation on Case Acceptance and the things we dentists due to ruin this important “Golden 10 Minutes.” Several of the above mentioned speakers have rounded and changed the way I practice and I am excited to share their knowledge with you.

The Colorado Prosthodontic Society is the longest continuously organized study club in the nation. We are entering our 91st year and I am proud to serve as your President and program chair for the 2010-2011 season. I hope the topics this year provide you with new and enlightening ideas as our profession and materials continue to change. Continuing education is the vehicle in which we advance our profession and I commend you all for continued involvement.
