After 15 years of evolutionary increase in size, content, and participation, the AEEDC Conference has become one of the world's top International scientific meetings. The number of participants, exhibitors and trade visitors are increasing on a yearly basis. AEEDC Dubai presents the advanced specialty courses, these courses will be running parallel to AEEDC Dubai Conference, which will add to dentist's knowledge.

Dr. Nasser Al Malik, the Chairman of the AEEDC conference said: "The Essentials of Private Dental Practice Course is an excellent opportunity for all dentists including myself to learn more about our profession from the business and technical sides. If something goes wrong with one of the tools I'm using and there is a patient waiting, I can take some time to fix it instead of waiting for the technician to come and reschedule my patient's appointment. This course will give us the chance as dentists to learn about business aspects, and managerial skills in addition to scientific information in order to run a successful private practice."
