DescriptionThis essential course is ideally intended for general dental practitioners and their hygienist/therapist. The format of the day will be part lecture/hands-on and will empower the dental team to provide cost-effective, aesthetic and minimally invasive dental treatment to their patients through the application of widely available devices and techniques.

The lecture is practical, packed with interesting slides and clinical cases and the day will cover the following topics:
Additional information• The primary and secondary factors influencing deep isolated pockets
