Flap surgeries performed by participants on patients followed by case discussions & certification (Participants are free to bring their own patients for flap surgeries)
Participants are encouraged to bring in cases to be discussed in the form of OPG, IOPARS and oral pictures
Suitable for: Experienced as well as novice dentists who wish to expand their practice base.
