Attendees reached 11 hours of CE on an implant journey with Dr. Maureen Libby at the helm. Here are some of the highlights:
Dr. Maureen Libby and Hands-On CE
Dr. Libby kept students engaged and answered in-depth questions both days of NDC, supplemented by hands-on sessions with 1) Restoring Dental Implants,
2) Ridge Preservation Techniques, 3) Surgical Placement Techniques, and 4) CAD/CAM milling demonstrations. Dentsply Sirona and Masters teamed up to assist students and new dentists on their path to lifelong learning. The hands-on learning was interactive and customized for all levels of experience.
Lunch with Leaders
Our Lunch with Leaders panelists highlighted techniques to integrate work and life, and how to make long-lasting relationships with patients (

). Further, new dentists and students got to visit with Fellows and Masters during the latter half of the lunch. The Texas AGD and NDC Committee extend a special thank you to our panelists Dr. Laura Schott, Dr. Boyd Shepherd, Dr. Akshay Thusu, and Kyle Wallace of Wallace Specialty Insurance Group.
CE Achievement Recognition
The CE Recognition Program empowers Texas AGD members on their journey towards lifelong learning. Members who had reached 250+ or 500+ hours were recognized during the conference with an achievement certificate to encourage them to continue on their path of excellence.

Party with Peers @ the Pier!
Thanks to our sponsorship of exhibitors, attendees sailed along Lady Bird Lake on a riverboat cruise to connect with peers, enjoy fajitas and a few adult beverages thanks to Deep Eddy and Shiner. A bonus was to witness the Congress Avenue Mexican free-tail bats lift off on their nightly flight. "We are grateful for our exhibitors, they are an extension of our programs and help attendees learn which tools will help them find success in their practice," said Dr. Sarah Tovar, NDC Chairperson.
