Webinar Series 2024
Our 2024 Symposium at the Gold Coast allowed the opportunity to share information through evidence-based research and proven clinical experience to health professionals who seek to understand the nuances of tethered oral tissue, advocating for both safe and effective treatment for those who are affected. To extend the knowledge and learnings from our Symposium, we will be conducting webinars where a recording of a session from our Symposium will be available for review. Post recording, attendees will be given the opportunity to engage in further discussion and conduct a live Q&A with the speaker.
