Patient Advocacy, Gerodontics and Terminal Dentitions

In his abstract for the 2025 ICP Biennial Meeting in Toronto, Geoff Borlase reflects on the evolving role of prosthodontics in the care of ageing patients.

As demographics change and new technologies reshape treatment options, prosthodontists face important ethical questions around patient advocacy, access to care, treatment planning, and the meaning of “terminal dentition.”

The abstract highlights the need to preserve teeth, prevent disease throughout ageing, and make evidence-based decisions guided by ethics, patient-centered care, and a deeper understanding of gerodontics.

Emotional Intelligence and Neuroplasticity in Prosthodontic Leadership 🧠✨

In her abstract for the 2025 ICP Biennial Meeting in Toronto, Dr. Limor Avivi-Arber explores how emotional intelligence, empathy, and neuroplasticity can shape prosthodontic leadership.

➡️ The abstract highlights that clinical excellence is not only technical. Prosthodontists also guide patients through treatment acceptance, support teams during complex procedures, and help both patients and staff adapt to change.

By applying neuroscience-informed leadership strategies, clinicians can strengthen patient trust, improve communication, reduce resistance to treatment, and enhance team cohesion.

In his abstract for the 2025 ICP Biennial Meeting in Toronto, Dr. Cristian Abad-Coronel reflects on the transition from conventional to digital technologies in prosthodontics and restorative dentistry.

The abstract highlights how digital equipment now plays a daily role in examination, diagnosis, planning, ex*****on, control, and treatment maintenance—while also emphasizing the importance of clinical knowledge, scientific evidence, and professional training.

As digital workflows continue to evolve, the challenge is not only adopting new tools, but understanding their scope, limitations, costs, and impact on patient comfort, education, and research.
