Chairs: Dave Winkler and Nairn WilsonIn the current climate of the baby boomer population attending clinics with failing large posterior and anterior toothrestoration complexes, this is proving to be a difficult clinical problem to manage.

The McLean Symposium 2018 puts together an expert panel of internationally renowned experts to explain how to manage this clinical conundrum ethically; how to diagnose problems before they manifest themselves and how to intervene and with what materials and techniques.

This symposium will attract 3.5 CPD credits.

John McLean was an internationally well-respected and renowned dental scientist and in his honour the Faculty of Dental Surgery, Royal College of Surgeons (Eng) and King's College London have established a symposium which will run annually in his memory.
