SINCE 1971 EMPOWERING DOCTORS AND STAFFS TO ATTAIN GREATER SUCCESS THROUGH EDUCATION AND KNOWLEDGE

The basic Sassouni Plus Cephalometric course is presented in its entirety in dvd format .

For doctors who have not yet taken the two day course (C345), the video will provide you with an excellent overview of Sassouni Plus, as well as the detailed information you will need to get started in using Sassouni Plus, until you have an opportunity to take the course. After having seen the video, you will also be able to utilize the Sassouni Plus Tracing service, with full understanding of each diagnosis and treatment plan.

For doctors who have taken the two day course in person, the video will be a great review and reference source for those points you missed in the lecture and will be a great in office training film for your staff.
