Regarding the practical skills and clinical knowledge that participants can expect to acquire, Dr Chu told Dental Tribune International: “Our major focus has always been the management of problem cases in the aesthetic zone, and we use an evidence-based, interdisciplinary treatment approach. Our courses combine surgical and restorative considerations and teach the easiest, fastest, least expensive and, most importantly, the best way to manage the problem areas that patients present with.”
