Case discussion session with dental specialists JULY
Exclusive learning opportunity!
Join our interactive table clinic session and enhance your skills.
During this session, event attendees are invited to bring in cases from their own practice and discuss them with colleagues and the dental specialists to develop strategies to manage them. Hear interesting cases from specialists and learn tips and tricks on how to best handle different scenarios.
