The DentalPro team’s goal was fulfilled. On 13 September, we brought together almost a hundred professionals from the dental sector at Dental\/NEXT.

We can therefore say that the DentalPro team’s objective has been fulfilled. At Dental\/NEXT, we brought together almost a hundred professionals from the dental sector. It’s an initiative that stands out as a milestone for Portuguese dentistry, not so much because of the subjects debated or the awards ceremony, but because of the union we managed to create between dentists, dental technicians and industry professionals. Thank you to everyone who made Dental\/NEXT possible and we sincerely hope that we will meet again soon to share ideas and exchange hugs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
