Laboratory Techniques
Making your own lab work used to be part of every dentistry curriculum, but in recent years this has taken a back seat, and many dentists do not feel well informed about laboratory procedures.
This Dentaljuce module takes you through the lab stages for a variety of indirect restorations.
The Laboratory Techniques online learning module has clear and concise aims, objectives and anticipated outcomes, listed below. These will appear on the Dentaljuce Enhanced CPD Certificate, along with the time spent, dates, and detailed topics you studied within the module. Certificates can be printed at any time, covering any range of dates. Dentaljuce CPD complies with the UK GDC's requirements for enhanced verifiable continuing professional development.
