HOME TO HIGHER LEARNING. HOME TO GREAT TEAMS. HOME TO HISTORY. HOME TO THE AACD.
 There is no better backdrop for the AACD’s 27th Annual Scientific Session than Boston, Massachusetts, as the AACD writes the next
chapter of its history with The Rise of Collaboration.
Collaboration is the key to success for the modern cosmetic dental team. In order for dentists, technicians and team members to provide the comprehensive oral health care today’s patients demand, dental professionals together must develop and refine their skills. Duing AACD Boston 2011, May 18-21, dental teams will learn side-by-side
from some of the greatest educators in the world of cosmetic dentistry.
