Joint Restorative Dentistry Group Oral Clinical Case Presentation 2026

Oral presentations are invited for the presentation of a clinical case involving advanced restorative treatment. Ideally the patient should have a number of identified general, restorative and aesthetic modifying factors that would increase the complexity of the treatment (e.g. complex medical history, high smile line, bone resorption, occlusal challenges etc.).

It should be structured and should detail the assessment and treatment planning options for a patient as well as evidence-based discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of all potential treatment options for the patient.
