Welcome to the Advanced Operative Dentistry blog.
If all goes well you will find general information regarding the course here along with assignments, links, topics we will be discussing and any other random information that may be helpful.
It is my intention that this be YOUR course. I will simply be the facilitator. Although I have plenty to say, it will be up to you to let me know what topics you would like opened for discussion.
After each class session, I will add some thoughts and comments that will hopefully lead to additional areas of investigation.
In my mind, although the topic is dentistry, the goal is to help you develop your critical thinking skills. The course will be based upon collaborative learning and interactions with each other that will make the learning process as productive as we can.
Thanks for coming along for the ride.
