Shared perspective from one of our participants:

When I chose to participate in the initial Mastertrack Program offered by the NCAGD, little did I realize the professional impact this program would have upon me and my dental practice… From the first weekend of three seminars, I was able to bring back to my office information and techniques that have raised not only the quality of care I can offer my patients, but have also made dentistry more fun and innovative for me…we had the opportunity for intimate question and answer periods, friendly debate among peers, lecture, and hands on experience from both nationally known and the younger up and coming dental experts…Some hands on procedures we learned, such as free autogenous grafts, will still be better performed by my local periodontist, but I now have a better understanding of not only what criteria to look for, but what he has to do to achieve the result both my patient and I are anticipating.  My hope is that more AGD members will take advantage of this diamond opportunity to improve their skills and knowledge.
