Welcome from Program Chair
Blending Technologies, the Wave of the Future Maxillofacial Prosthetics cannot be constrained by its mere physical definition. The art of the hand improves daily thanks to new technologies having a direct impact at each level of treatment (surgical or restorative), each being less invasive, and making the unpredictable more predictable with increased precision. Never has there been a time where education and research has been so pivotal in the advancement of health care to include the technological dimension. We need to embrace these concepts and participate in the interest of all patients entrusted to our care. This year’s program will build on the concept of Maxillofacial Prosthetics at the crossroads and focus on three areas of interest: Supportive care for the Maxillofacial Prosthetics patient, Implant Support and finally Advanced Digital Technology. Our goal is to highlight how diverse and invaluable the treatment team is today and its direct impact on the care we provide. So join us at the AAMP meeting in San Diego to see and be a part of the future. Robert M. Taft, CAPT, DC, USN |
