Dr. Paquette and Dr. Sheets Executive Directors of NCOFI

It is the desire of every member of the NCOFI faculty that each participant come away from this series with an expanded knowledge and renewed commitment to the practice of dentistry. To help you achieve this we will:

1. Provide opportunities for hands-on experience that will immediately enhance your skills.
2. Introduce you to the cutting edge in state-of-the-art technology.
3. Demonstrate the tremendous impact of higher magnifications to clinical treatment.
4. Broaden your treatment planning capabilities for more comprehensive treatment.
5. Create an environment that promotes camaraderie and lateral learning.

Technology is on the move! Active learning and retraining is essential. The Newport Coast Oral Facial Institute is a state-of-the-art working laboratory designed by clinicians for clinicians. Fully equipped for technique sensitive training, a setting for intensive learning in a stress free environment has been achieved. Each work station is equipped with an especially designed clinical microscope, manikin heads for simulated patient care, and personal video monitors to observe live demonstrations. Additionally, there are ergonomically designed operator chairs, three modular demonstration stations in the teaching lab, and three teaching operatories for live patient demonstrations as seen through the clinical microscope. Students have multidisciplinary, hands-on mentoring experiences with some of the top international teacher/clinicians in the world. Classes have received rave reviews from all the participants enrolled in these innovative courses.
