KLS IPS Pre-Prosthetic solution “Meet the Expert” event with Dr. Shahid Aziz
Dr. Shahid Aziz, a distinguished Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, dedicated educator, and scholar shared his experiences with the KLS IPS Pre-Prosthetic Solution. The novel approach to delivering a prosthesis was invented in Germany, and was recently approved by the FDA in 2013. It allows patients with minimal maxillary and mandibular bone remaining to receive a plate fixed to their bone that has posts attached. A prosthesis can then be attached to these plates, restoring a patient’s dentition. It can be used for partial and full prostheses and is an innovative way to expand treatment options. Dr. Aziz was a mentor to Temple’s Dr. Pooja Gangwani, and the invitation to this talk was extended through her. Doctors, residents, and Temple OMFS club members were present.
