Speaker:

Dr. Livaditis attended Temple University for undergraduate education and then graduated from Temple's School of Dentistry. After a one year general practice residency at Upstate Medical Center in Syracuse, he became a full time faculty member at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry. He soon returned to Temple for his prosthodontic training. In recent decades, he has maintained a full-time prosthodontic practice serving the Maryland and south-central Pennsylvania areas.

Dr. Livaditis is widely recognized for his development, along with Dr. V. P. Thompson, of the etching of metal for bonding known as the Maryland Bridge Technique. Dr. Livaditis expanded the application of the etched-metal technique in further transforming fixed prosthodontics from cemented restorations to bonded prostheses. He has also introduced several other concepts and techniques including: Precise bipolar electrosurgical hemostasis for dentistry; Matrix-formed pin or post retained cores; The Matrix Impression Technique; and, other procedures. Currently, he is introducing a new diagnosis for specific categories of worn dentitions and deep bites. He will identify the signs for diagnosis, provide interceptive suggestions and describe treatment procedures that differ considerably from traditional treatment.
