ROOTS SUMMIT IX, Barcelona.

Dear readers,

Just back from Barcelona after attending the IX Roots Summit held from 3rd June to 5th June, 2010. Great conference with lots and lots of lectures, presentations, hands on courses, trade exhibits, etc etc. Hectic 3 days starting from 8.30 am to almost 7.30 pm! Hectic but fun!! Got to meet a lot of rooters, names that now have a face too!
Will be posting some photographs too. I did a presentation of modifications of access cavity to locate the extra canals, with some 6 canalled upper 1st molars.

Few Summit pictures are here:
