LONG LONG LONG LONG OVERDUE IN THIS WRITER’S OPINION
The 2010 House of Delegates resolved to encourage certified dental
technicians to attend ADA continuing education seminars, including as
presenters.
That resolve will be carried out at ADA Annual Session in Las
Vegas this month when Dentists and Dental Laboratory Technicians Team
Up for Success is presented. The course, created for both dentists and
dental laboratory technicians, is scheduled for 8-10:30 a.m. Oct. 13 in
room L3 Palm C. Its goal is to outline techniques dentists and dental
lab technicians can use for successful long-term collaborative treatment
planning.
“This course is designed to deepen and further define the
long-standing symbiotic relationship between dental laboratory
technicians and dentists, which has proven through the years to deliver
the highest quality dental solutions available to patients in the
world,” said Dr. Charles (Bill) D’Aiuto, member of the Council on Dental
Practice and chair of its Subcommittee on the Future of Dental
Laboratory Technology. “As the dental office paradigm shifts so will the
working relationships,needs and requirements that dentists share with
our dental laboratory technicians colleagues.”
