The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) is pleased to announce the recent appointment of the newest members to its General Dentistry Advisory Board. General Dentistry is AGD’s award-winning, peer-reviewed journal.
Published bimonthly, General Dentistryfeatures clinical articles spanning the breadth of topics relevant to general dentists, including unique case reports, novel solutions to common treatment dilemmas, evidence-based best practices and the science to help dentists choose the best materials, technology and procedures for their patients and practices.
