OVERVIEW
In short, this program is the first in a planned series that offers valuable information from highly experienced master clinicians who understand and practice comprehensive patient-centered care. Invited lecturers will have demonstrated an unbending commitment to life-long learning in order to offer their patients the best opportunities for long-term successful clinical outcomes, and will be willing to share their unique talents and practices in creative, student-focused seminars and workshops.

OBJECTIVES
The objective of this educational continuum for general dentists is to teach and support applied comprehensive general dentistry in practice. The program material is based on the philosophic principles that assume: (a) clinicians should possess an excellent competency level in all disciplines of dentistry; (b) all patient treatment is firmly based on high ethical standards; and (c) all treatment recommendations should reflect current “best practices” that offer patients a reasonable opportunity for noticeable improvement in their quality of life.
