An evaluation of a technique to improve the mechanical properties of maxillofacial silicone elastomers with zinc oxide nanoparticles
Silicone elastomer is the most used material for fabricating maxillofacial prostheses, but the material has low tensile and tear strength and insufficient elasticity. Whether the addition of zinc oxide nanoparticles will improve these properties is unclear.Leadership education in prosthodontics: Development and impact of the Future Leaders in Prosthodontics (FLIP) workshops
The effectiveness of leadership education for prosthodontists is unknown.Electronic laboratory quality assurance program: A method of enhancing the prosthodontic curriculum and addressing accreditation standards
An electronic quality assurance (eQA) program was developed to replace a paper-based system and to address standards introduced by the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) and to improve educational outcomes. This eQA program provides feedback to predoctoral dental students on prosthodontic laboratory steps at New York University College of Dentistry.
