Dozens of members of our DCG family attended the global Thomas P. Hinman Dental Meeting March 21-23 in Atlanta (see header photo). The conference hosts more than 10,000 researchers, dentists, oral health specialists, dental students, educators and other industry experts for three days of world-class continuing education, exhibitions, inspiration and community-building.
