5. Pediatric and Adolescent Operative Dentistry 
6. Endodontics 
7. Pedodontics/Orthodontics 
8. Esthetic/Cosmetic Dentistry 
9. Practice Management/Marketing 

The second day:

The second day workshop will give each participant hands-on experience with the various wavelengths, performing surgical procedures on in-vitro models (animal mandibles).
