dentist." Dr. Maron is the team doctor for the Atlanta

Day 3 will kick off with an insightful lecture by
our resident sage in prosthodontics, Dr. Terry Donovan,
who will review the most current information and
research on all-ceramic systems, followed by a new
comprehensive "Ask the Experts" panel discussion.
This forum will serve as a great opportunity to ask
questions and discuss issues with virtually all of our
program speakers. Day 3 will conclude with another
excellent presentation from our featured speaker, Dr.
