The conference brought together students, alumni, and researchers to discuss cutting-edge oral health research through oral and poster presentations.
Doctoral student Jan Kwan delivered two oral presentations on the implant-prosthetic connection: in the “Beyond the Implant Fable” session, he presented “Redefining Stability Beyond the Inside”;
In the “Shaping the Future” session, he presented “Optimizing Implant Restorations: Integrating Hybrid Abutments for Improved Outcomes.”
