Prosthodontics 2023 - A Vision for the Future

On Friday 6^th & Saturday 7th October 2023, the Prosthodontic Society of Ireland and the Dublin Dental University Hospital held a joint conference, entitled, "Prosthodontics 2023 - A Vision for the Future."

This conference celebrated the 25th anniversary of formal prosthodontics training in Ireland. To mark the event, the conference was recorded by a production team, towards the goal of delivering very high-quality asynchronous teaching content to the students of Dublin Dental University Hospital and all videos are now accessible via the DDUH Virtual Learning Environment.

This event is dedicated to the memory of Dr Máire Comerford (neé Brennan), a fantastic friend and colleague who is sadly missed. The event is named in her honour.
