Everything you wanted to know about bridgework and more with Michael Mandikos!

This course is designed to raise the awareness of the clinician to the possibilities of bridgework as a viable, predictable and long-term alternative to dental implants. Conventional, cantilever and bonded designs will be covered, together with many clinical case examples.

Hosted by Endodontic Group.
