It’s the clash of the specialists as Michael Norton and Richard Kahan battle to prove their methods are the best.
This all-new interactive lecture puts endodontics versus implants in the spotlight, ably refereed by Professor Eddie Scher. The speakers will examine each treatment modality in detail to clear up some of the misconceptions around them. Together, they will establish when a tooth should be saved – and when it should be replaced.
The audience will also be able to have their say on their treatment of choice as the debate unfolds using examples from real life cases.
Who will win the battle of the treatment plans? You decide!
