“I have presented many courses with Dr. Tanaka, and I know first hand of the excellent information he offers in the area of fixed prosthodontics. Terry provides the participants with insights that take the mystery out of restoring the dentition. He knows about TMD and how it may relate to restorative procedures. His anatomic dissections are the best in the world. Don’t miss the chance to learn practical and clinically relevant information from a master who has successfully done it for years.”
