In the first-of-its-kind initiative, India’s leading dental health chain, New Delhi based Clove Dental has brought together national and international experts to share knowledge and collaborate to un-lock dental practice in Covid-19 era.

The ‘Dental Leadership Masterclass’ will be an ongoing webinar series for dental professionals aimed at raising the standard of dental care during and after this pandemic and to bring to them the opinion of masters of dentistry from across the globe.

The first masterclass of this series which focused on "Redefining Dental Practice with COVID-19” was chaired by three leading professionals of the dental fraternity, Hon. Brig. Dr Anil Kohli, Former President, Dental Council of India; and Dr Eben Van Der Valt, Partner, Portmore Dental, and Dentex and the host Lt. Gen. Dr Vimal Arora, Chief Clinical Officer, Clove Dental.

These renowned experts agreed that in the COVID era, there is a need to adapt to the ‘New Normal’ and put in place the practice guidelines keeping in mind the threat and follow them with higher degree of diligence and also adopt practices such as e-dentistry, pre-visit patient counselling and pre -operative patient preparation. These extensive protocols and the additional measures will make dental clinics very safe during the COVID times.

The one-hour long webinar held on 11^th July, 2020 witnessed an insightful discussion way forward for dentistry and generated tremendous responses from the 700 attendees across academia and industry.
