Testimonials

" I have found the Ab Initio course to be challenging and informative; and most enjoyable.

It quenches my thirst for knowledge about composites. It covers the evolution of composites, bonds and lights; from the inception to the very latest research. I now know which three bonds work; and above all, I am learning to use the wonderful composite HFO.

The person sitting next to me on the course had recently bought two expensive cordless LED curing lights; only to discover from the course that they don¹t actually cure the composite properly.

When I look in patients¹ mouths, there is no comparison between the teeth I have restored with HFO and those I have restored with other composites. They now look like real teeth; and I am still striving to improve even more.
That¹s what Ab Initio does to you.

I highly recommend this course, if you, like me are always striving to be an ever better dentist; then this course is the one not to be missed."
Maeve Logue, Dartford

" The benefits from attending the Ab Initio course are immediate and far-reaching. The improvement in the aesthetics of my anterior restorations was simply mind blowing. The results achievable I had only believed were possible using porcelain and a master technician. I am now able to achieve vitality and characterisation with the degree of predictability I would not have believed."
Dr John T Wade, Norwich


" As a self confessed "dental geek"(106 CPD hours last year) I can honestly say that the "Ab Initio" course is THE best I have EVER attended. The concept of teaching biomaterials science in a practical and interesting way in combination with a strong "hands on" component is a clear winner. It has changed the way I work, and more importantly the way I think; leaving a lasting impression on my career."
Dr Jason Smithson, Truro


" If you want to get up to date and confident to provide the ultimate in private care this is the course for 2006. David Klaff and Optident at their best."
Mike Booth, Grange, Cumbria
