John Beumer III, DDS, MS has been Chair of the UCLA Division of Advanced Prosthodontics, Biomaterials and Hospital Dentistry since 1998, and was formerly Chair of the Section of Removable Prosthodontics. He established the Residency Program in Maxillofacial Prosthetics at UCLA in 1977.  Dr. Beumer's textbook, Maxillofacial Rehabilitation – Prosthodontics and Surgical Considerations, has been the standard text in the field for more than 25 years.  His primary research interests have been focused on the effects of radiation therapy on oral structures and the rehabilitation of patients with large surgically-induced defects secondary to the removal of oral-facial cancers.
