According to Paul Olin, D.D.S., M.S., Clinical Director of the Postgraduate Programs in Esthetic Dentistry, there are many recently developed materials and procedures in restorative dentistry. This program enables practitioners to incorporate the new technology into their practice. The Post-Graduate Program in Esthetic Dentistry at the University of Minnesota was designed specifically to fill the gap between clinical research and dental practice. Because it took place one weekend per month over 4 months, the program never interfered with Dr. Carr's ongoing practice.
