This silent link emphasizes the importance of addressing hearing health not only for improved communication but also for overall safety and well-being.
Please join me for a 2-day classroom event on the “Use of CBCT in Endodontics” this coming March 4th and 5th in Washington D.C.
This evidence-based program, updated with the most current information, has been presented more than 65 times during the past twelve years. This workshop applies to all limited field of view CBCT scanners.
