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.

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.
