This is a good alternative for patients who can’t tolerate the conventional acrylic dentures. In a friendly and enthusiastic atmosphere you can experience this comprehensive and informative hands-on training session, which will be delivered in three modules throughout the day. Each module starts with an introductory lecture including clinical cases, illustrating the different techniques followed by a step-by-step demonstration. Finally, you will be given the opportunity to work with the fibres and complete each exercise under supervision. * Delegates are asked to bring their own curing lights for use in the practical sessions. *
