By School of Dentistry - October 19, 2011

With 275 participants from as far away as Germany, Indonesia, and Iran attending, the School of Dentistry’s “Total Sinus Graft Solutions” continuing education symposium and workshop (October 2 and 3, 2011) was a gratifying success.  From among four live surgical demonstrations, two workshops, four vendors, and seven lecturers, this complex seminar delivered attendees a wealth of treatment information and strategies.
 

"Total Sinus Graft Solutions" attendees focus on a presentation at the Centennial Complex Damazo Amphitheater.

 
Throughout the two-day symposium, numerous participants remarked that the event was among the best they had attended, citing the quality of the facility (Centennial Complex), the first-rate professional presentations, the live surgical demonstrations, and the helpful supporting staff as reasons they found the experience so satisfying.
 

The Damazo Amphitheater provides state-of-the-art presentation options.

 
One participant phoned the Continuing Dental Education office following the event to remark on the professionalism and respect shown between the faculty and the residents of the implant department during the live surgical demonstrations.  He ended the conversation by saying, “Loma Linda University is a godly place.”
