Dr. Meriting Thokoane

Meriting Thokoane is a researcher in prosthodontics whose work centers on digital and conventional techniques in restorative and maxillofacial dentistry. Published in the International Journal of Prosthodontics, Thokoane contributes to advancing clinical protocols that enhance accuracy, esthetics, and patient care within prosthetic rehabilitation.

Research explores the precision of cast metal removable partial denture frameworks produced through digital workflows, supporting the clinical feasibility of printed and milled resin patterns. Additional studies investigate pigment metamerism in facial prostheses, proposing standardized shade-matching protocols, and examine professional burnout among prosthodontic clinicians, highlighting psychosocial dimensions of specialized care.

Current insights are based on a limited body of available publications. Nevertheless, the work reflects strengths in clinical evaluation, materials research, and interdisciplinary awareness, contributing to improved prosthodontic practice and practitioner well-being.
