Editorial & Activity Report for DentalReach February 2021 issue

Prostho is love, prostho is madness! If you are a part of the Prostho fam, or are in love with this fantastic tertiary, rehabilitative field of dentistry, you will totally understand how these two words define the journey of a prostho enthusiast. You have to consider ten different things in one case, co-ordinate with the dental lab and his team, find a way between patient’s expectations and reality – yes, it is crazy – but the results can be satisfying, making you fall in love with prosthodontics even more!

If you can relate to this, then you are in for an absolute treat in this month’s Prosthodontics – Special issue.

Prostho Poster Contest

For starters, on the occasion of Prosthodontist’s Day (22nd January) celebrated in Asia, DentalReach in association with Indian Prosthodontic Society (IPS), Bangalore Branch, invited our readers to submit their digital artwork or illustrations showcasing the essence of prosthodontics!

The best entries of this ‘Prostho-Art’ contest were a part of a special compilation and released on 22nd January 2021!
