This informative course designed for dental assistants and expanded function dental assistants (EFDA’s) is presented by Theresa Groody, EFDA, CDA, M.Ed., Harcum’s Director of Continuing and Professional Studies. It will review the basics of restorative procedures, enabling dental professionals to provide predictable, consistent and superior patient care.

Attendees will learn how to compare and contrast generations of dental adhesives and how to explain the function of each and when/why each are needed.
