Head over to the Institute of Digital Dentistry and select the “Mastering Exocad Course”.

Broken down to three segments, the amazing Marjorie will take you through Fundamentals, Intermediate, and Advanced courses leaving you with the confidence to tackle most cases coming into your lab. I personally am going through all 70 lessons and find it one of the most thorough courses you can take at your own pace.

And for being a listener of the podcast, if you enter code VOICES when checking out they will take an additional 10% off any course they offer…. And they offer a ton of content for labs and clinics.
