SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, OrthoClear, Inc. announced
that the University of Connecticut will be offering OrthoClear training as an
elective course in its undergraduate and graduate dental curriculum.
Beginning in the spring, the University will also be offering OrthoClear
certification to its 4th year graduate students.
"We are very excited about working with the University of Connecticut to
educate future dental professionals on OrthoClears clinical and patient
benefits," said Craig Crawford, OrthoClears Director of Clinical Research.
"UConn is one of the top dental schools in the country, as demonstrated by its
students routinely scoring at the top of the National Board Dental
Examinations."
The University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine is the only public
dental school in New England and graduates approximately 40 dental students
per year. It offers advanced programs in most dental specialties, including
Orthodontics, and has become recognized over its 35 year history for
educational programs that blend in-depth basic medical science, cutting-edge
research and excellence in patient care.

Affairs. "We want our students to be exposed to the latest advances in
dentistry, especially when it integrates science, technology, and therapy.
Our curriculum prepares students to evaluate new products as they emerge over
their practice careers. This is a great opportunity for students to experience
a new treatment approach and to put that training into action before they
graduate."
Dr. Andrew J. Kuhlberg, Director Pre-Doctoral Orthodontics at the
University of Connecticut, added, "Were pleased to be able to offer
OrthoClear aligner training for future dentists while theyre still in school.
With new technologies, its important for students to gain the exposure in an
academic atmosphere without the pressures of a private practice environment.
Schools can then promote a students thoughtful approach to the technologys
clinical applications."
