Next month, thousands of dentists and dental professionals will be headed to Vancouver, BC, Canada for the Pacific Dental Conference (PDC), one of the largest dental conferences in North America. The conference is known for its extensive lineup of educational sessions, workshops, and a large exhibition where companies showcase the latest in dental equipment, technologies, and services.
Here at Global Surgical, we’ve enjoyed over 25 years of meeting the doctors we work with, along with plenty of new faces along the way, by attending some of the world’s leading dental educational events such as the PDC.
We love educating dental professionals about the value of dental microscopes, and what they can bring to your practice. These events are a great place for you to start learning about microscopy in dentistry.
Let's see why the PDC is consistently one of the leading events you'll find an A-Series microscope and your friends here at Global.
This year’s event will be held March 7-9, 2024 at the Vancouver Convention Centre. There will be 100+ in-person open sessions and hands-on courses as well as an exhibit hall showcasing more than 225 exhibiting companies. Thousands of dental professionals from BC, other Canadian provinces and neighboring US states will hear from top notch presenters who are prominent leaders in the dental industry.
As an attendee, you will have the opportunity to learn from the best while earning CE credits. For more information on this year’s event, and registration information, visit: https://www.pdconf.com/ncs2024/
On the show floor, Thursday 3/7 from 1:30-3:00 pm, Dr. van As will be conducting a live procedure involving removing stained enamel with a product called ICON, as well as inspection on a Global microscope. This procedure is best done with a patient after braces who has spots on their front teeth from poorer OH that shows up when they smile.
