Planmeca University announces Digital Dentistry Certification

Planmeca University is taking the Digital Dentistry Certification to a whole new level.

The C.D.D. program has been redesigned and renamed to Certified in Digital Dentistry, representing dentistry’s rapidly evolving digital environment and creating additional possibilities for professional growth within the digital dental world.
