Changing Practice and Improving Lives With Implant Overdentures Jocelyne Feine, DDS, MS, HDR
Join us on June 9th, 2026
Description:
In this talk, Professor Feine will describe the steps leading up to and following the McGill Consensus Statement. In a series of stories, the development of evidence for minimal numbers and types of implants will be shared, along with what has been developed following the Consensus Statement, as well as what is now being tested to improve prosthetic success and quality of life for those with complete mandibular tooth loss and limited income.
Upon completion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
1) Describe the ways in which clinical implant research results reach and influence dental practitioners.
2) Explain the reasons why older patients refuse implant treatment.
3) Provide edentulous patients with convincing evidence to support recommendations for implant prosthetics.
Jocelyne Feine, DDS, MS, HDR
Jocelyne Feine is Professor Emerita from the Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences, McGill University, Montréal, Canada and the Editor-In-Chief of the Journal of Dental Research Clinical and Translational (JDR CTR). Professor Feine’s research interests involve the assessment of therapies and technologies intended to improve function and life quality in populations with chronic orofacial conditions, such as tooth loss and pain. In 2002, she spearheaded the McGill Consensus Statement on Overdentures: Mandibular Two-Implant Overdentures as First Choice Standard of Care for Edentulous Patients. This publication resulted in the worldwide uptake of 2-implant overdentures for people with edentulous mandibles. She is author of numerous book chapters, and her manuscripts have been published in peer-reviewed dental and medical journals.
Dr. Feine has indicated she has no relevant financial information to disclose.
