NEW YORK, NY, USA: Fort Washington, NY, prosthodontist Dr Tom Balshi and his wife, Joanne, recently gathered dental specialists born of Philadelphia’s only graduate program in prosthodontics to honor its renowned former chair and mentor, Bryn Mawr resident Ernest Beckwith Mingledorff.

Beloved by all for his wisdom, genteel southern manner and flowing good humor, “Ernie” drew a crowd of 80 professionals from the greater Philadelphia and New York arena.

In a late summer poolside setting with the vibrant music of live steel drums keeping beat, dental collegiality was at its best graced by the presence of Temple University president Ann Weaver Hart and newly appointed Dean Amid Ismail of Temple’s Kornberg School of Dentistry.

Both Hart and Ismail spoke of their commitment to reinvigorate prosthodontic education in the Philadelphia area.

Balshi was the first graduate of the Temple Dental School program in prosthodontics to become certified as a Diplomat of the American Board of Prosthodontists. His Fort Washington practice boasts a 100 per cent success rate in prosthodontic restorations on dental implants.
