I was thrilled to present the 2019 Dental Excellence Award trophies at the recent Chicago Dental Society 2020 Midwinter Meeting. The annual awards recognize outstanding new products and services.
Last fall, DrBicuspid.com readers submitted product nominations in 10 award categories, which were then voted on by the readers. The Dental Excellence Awards were selected by the readers of DrBicuspid.com. No fee or other consideration was paid for inclusion in the voting process or for winning.
