Dr. Dennis Tarnow, expert in the field of implantology and leader<br />
in dental implant continuing education, is currently clinical<br />
professor of periodontology and director of implant education<br />
at Columbia University College of <strong>Dental</strong> Medicine in New York.<br />
Here, the seasoned practitioner shares his experience on<br />
topics ranging from the relationship between endodontics and<br />
implantology, to training the general dentist to place implants,<br />
to immediate loading, biologic width around implants, guided<br />
surgery and digital scanning.<br />
David Casper: Dr. Tarnow, you’re known<br />
around the world as the leader in dental<br />
implant continuing education. Everywhere<br />
we go, whether it’s undergraduate<br />
or postgraduate, it’s clear you’ve touched<br />
the lives of so many dentists around the<br />
world. Tell us about this journey. How<br />
did it start, and what ignited this passion<br />
for continuing education?<br />
Dr. Dennis Tarnow: Well, I graduated<br />
in 1972 and went for a general practice<br />
residency at Brookdale University<br />
Hospital in Brooklyn. There I realized I<br />
was being trained beautifully as an intern<br />
and as a general practitioner, but<br />
I wanted to do a lot more. So I wound<br />
up pursuing a double specialty in<br />
both periodontology and prosthodontics.<br />
And I loved education, which<br />
stimulated my entire way of thinking.<br />
