SAN FRANCISCO, CA, USA: Friendly jibes between the speakers and amusing simulated ‘patient’ videos were a hearty warm-up for attendees of a joint lecture by Joe Massad and Jack Turbyfill at CDA Presents the Art and Science of Dentistry, held 10-13 September.
These two ‘giants’ in removable prosthetics have a long-standing and entertaining repartee, the goal of which is imparting their knowledge to all those within earshot.
During their dueling dentures match — complete with a simulated boxing poster of the two speakers in gloves and trunks — Massad and Turbyfill took turns answering six questions that helped illustrate their different approaches to treating edentulous patients.
For example, the first question was: How do you arrange anterior maxillary teeth? In turn, each speaker presented a case that helped to illustrate his answer to this question.
Those who stayed for the entire two and half hours of this lecture walked away with pearls of information about how to make not only a comfortable, esthetically pleasing and functional denture, but also how to make the entire experience a pleasant one for the patient.
The session was one of many educational offerings at the CDA meeting.
