Tooth Wear: Evidence based learning and practical skills - with Dr Micheál Healy, Specialist Prosthodontist.

The Truth About Tooth Wear - Evidence, practical skills, tips and tricks

This two-day course will feature both lectures and hands-on skill development on an increasingly important dental topic.

It is my aim to create a positive and relaxed learning environment for every delegate. I have a deep interest in tooth wear, having carried out my research project on the subject at Guy's Hospital, London during my MClinDent (Prosthodontics). I aim to share my understanding of the latest evidence behind tooth wear, and how we can apply this on a practical level.

The course will be held at the Hilton Hotel, Kilmainham, Dublin 8. The venue is situated next to the historical Kilmainham Gaol and Museum, a short distance to Dublin city centre. The course will be supported by GC and NSK.
