Question 1:聽What was your聽table clinic research topic?聽

The predictor for success of the immediate loading of implant restorations. More patients are wanting to leave the office with a 'tooth' on their implant in the same appointment and it's important to know which patients can and can't do this.

Question 2: Can you tell聽us about the process of presenting a table clinic from start to finish?

We do the bulk of the research in second year for a paper we write as part of Patient Care 2. In third year, we transfer the highlights of our聽research to a poster. An 8-10 minute聽presentation which we get approved by our聽advisor and the poster are presented at table clinics night.聽

Question 3: What was the聽most interesting or surprising thing you learned while conducting your research?

That聽immediately loading implants can be a treatment option as long as the patient possesses the proper聽characteristics to allow for聽predictable healing.聽

Question 4: Do you have聽any advice for students that will be participating in future table clinics?

Have everyone you know proofread your poster. I had at least 15 people read mine and they all found something wrong.聽

Question 5: Aside from聽the competition, what are you most looking forward to during your upcoming trip聽to Vancouver?

I鈥檇 like to take a walk in聽Stanley聽park and hopefully take in a soccer or hockey game while I鈥檓 there.聽
