37th Annual Marvin C. Goldstein Lecture Series

Augusta, GA •Friday, April 24, 2015 • 7:30 a.m. - 3:15 p.m.

Sorting through the science and restorative materials available today can be a daunting task. Too often, the source of information comes from the company sales representatives and may therefore be biased. It is important that we as clinical practitioners, and scientists, search out data that is independently clinically tested without influence from the manufacturers. The purpose of this program is to discuss selection of restorative materials and dental techniques, based on scientific evidence, to improve one’s practice and long term clinical outcomes.
