What participants think:

“This course is an excellent introduction for dentists who have had no experience with microscopes. The instructor brings the attendees from zero to actually being able to start doing procedures with this instrumentation. The exercises involved incrementally moved the learning forward at a pace that allowed success. This is a terrific instructor and a great course format!”
