”I chose NIDE's CAD/CAM course because I wanted to receive more theoretical knowledge and practical exercises to become more professional in prosthetic dentistry. After the course I was able to communicate better with my lab, make the right choice of material and to be entirely responsible of my work.”
- Dr. Iryna Chulkova, General Dentist, Belgium Fundamentals of CAD/CAM
