The Dynamic Duo
Course Description:
These are two of the most constantly evolving, controversial and confusing disciplines in dentistry. Virtually no two dentists can agree on the various techniques and beliefs surrounding these issues. There is no consensus in the literature, between dental faculties or even within most dental schools.
This program analyses the merits of the various strategies one can embrace and implement into practice, and recommends a logical, scientifically valid methodology for delivering the highest quality of care.
