2016 Prosthodontic Olympics champions: The Wizard of Jaws

The eagerly awaited 19th Annual Dalhousie Prosthodontic Olympics took place on Monday 25 January 2016.

Against a backdrop of pounding music and wacky costumes, seven teams of second-year dentistry students vied for supremacy in five different events: alginate impressions, rubber dam placement, boxing final impressions, provisional restoration fabrication, and crown preparation.

It was fast, it was furious, two world records were set, and there were many attempts to buy the judges' favour with pizza and 'money'. But in the end, The Wizard of Jaws prevailed as overall winner with 63 points. Hakuma Matartar claimed the prize for best costumes.

Check out the complete list of winners, photos, and a film of the event.
