Executive Summary
The sole purpose of this resource for Dental Professionals is to provide knowledge and know-how so balanced, sound decisions may be made in the financial, clinical and operational assessment of thermoforming systems.
Modern Dental Thermoforming closely describes and analyses the surprising profits, range of applications, benefits and opportunities of modern dental thermoforming together with the pitfalls, limitations and misconceptions. The net result is; you will be in a position to decide if a thermoforming system is appropriate for your practice or laboratory and if so, just what you can reasonably expect it to deliver, clinically and financially.
Modern Dental Thermoforming is based on the accumulated knowledge and experience the author has gained in 25+ years of coaching, advising, trouble-shooting and marketing thermoforming at the highest levels. Julian Hodges has no financial links with any thermoforming equipment or material producer.
