Digital Dentistry Summer School 2015
Length and format of the course
Digital technology is changing our approach to dental care and treatment planning. Our five-‐day summer school in Helsinki gives you the latest knowledge and methods on 3D imaging and CAD/CAM dentistry. The course consists of 32 hours of lectures and hands-‐
on training by highly qualified lecturers, and it is worth 3 ECTS credits. In addition to the course you have a chance to visit the beautiful Helsinki archipelago by boat, relax in the Finnish sauna and enjoy Nordic delicacies at dinner at Planmeca’s seaside villa. 5 days with 32 hours of lectures and hands-‐on training (3 ECTS points, European Credit Transfer System) Lecturers
