DENTSPLY Prosthetics launches ProficienCE continuing education platform

September 16, 2010, York, PA – DENTSPLY Prosthetics introduces the ProficienCESM Platform for clinical and technical programs, designed to "Build Your Business, Strengthen Your Relationships, and Improve Patient Care" through Continuing Education.

ProficienCE is a step-by-step process for planning, marketing and hosting a successful educational program. By partnering with DENTSPLY Prosthetics via the program, it provides access to customizable curricula in fixed and removable prosthetics; educational support¹ for approved speakers and programs in the form of honorarium and travel expenses, and customizable planning and marketing tools.

The creative continuing education platform is designed to educate the entire dental team on the latest, most relevant topics and solutions in dental prosthetics. With proven and trusted brands, such as Trubyte® teeth, Ceramco® porcelains and Cercon® systems, DENTSPLY Prosthetics, in partnership with laboratory customers, can provide cost-effective business solutions.

Because DENTSPLY is an ADA CERP provider, dentists who attend a ProficienCE course can receive valuable CE credits. Customers who have hosted continuing education programs have shown an increase of approximately 25% in focus product sales after the event.²

Throughout the process-from planning through tracking success-you will work in close partnership with your DENTSPLY Prosthetics representative. To ease and organize your planning, DENTSPLY offers the ProficienCE Workbook complete guide to a successful educational event.
