The speakers at the 2015 conference will concentrate on flushing out the arguments in some of the 'grey' areas of Prosthodontics. It is hoped that delegates will be informed, entertained and challenged in equal measure. The speaker line up should not be missed and the conference will include a debate on the phase down of dental amalgam.
