Understanding Dentistry

To-the-point high-quality videos and reviews on
Dental Treatment Planning and Clinically relevant topics in Dentistry.
SPECIAL FOCUS: Oral Diagnosis, Digital Technologies, and Oral Rehabilitation.

Welcome to: Understanding Dentistry .
We are Dentists who went to some of the best world ranked Dental Schools (eg Harvard, McGill, USP, and others). After many years practicing dentistry, teaching in more than 5 countries, publishing books and high-impact research articles, we decided to create this youtube channel to help our dental students and orientate their studies, but NOT to replace all their studies... reading scientific articles and good books are always recommended, as much as practicing our clinical skills.

Hope you guys enjoy it :)
