Eight residents from the GPR program at the Advocate Illinois Masonic participated in an interactive session Thursday at the ADA Headquarters.
Dr Spiro Megremis, director of Research & Evaluation at the Science Institute, presented on dental curing lights, dental radiometers, dental hand pieces, and what clinicians need to know to optimize the use of these instruments. In addition, Dr. Sharon Tracy, Center for Evidence Based Dentistry assistant director, talked about the importance of evidence-based dentistry and resources available for dentists on ebd.ada.org. Following the scientific presentation, the residents toured the building and learned about ADA resources and benefits for new dentists. See photos below.

Looks like you guys are having a great time! Hope a lot was learned and explored. Thanks for sharing!
Finding out a bit about the science of curing in dentistry was interesting to me. I find that learning about the learning process of specialists like these is very insightful. Learning about the different scientific fields helps me to have a better appreciation of the specialists that help me routinely.
