Ivoclar has a long history of educating dental professionals.

Since then, the advanced learning and education opportunities provided have expanded significantly.
"We are excited to host such an exciting program in 2023. It honours our beginnings as leaders in the dental education field, while also serving as a thank you to all of our dedicated customers and partners, who helped make this milestone a reality," said Dr. George Tysowsky, Head of Global Training and Education for Ivoclar.
