2/1/2006: Dr Benavides spoke to the "Illinois Valley Dental Society" regarding photography.  The powerpoint can be downloaded by clicking HERE. (attendees - I had to eliminate most of the photos as even compressed, it was nearly 20Mb in size.  SORRY!).  It's now a manageable 2.5Mb download.

Dr Benavides spoke October 2005 in Grand Rapids, MI at the office of Dr Betsy Bakeman.  The subject of this lecture is "Simplified Digital Photography, Photoshop, and Powerpoint for the Dentist."

Dr Mark Benavides and Dr John Derango (both are mentors for Dr Kois' "Creating Restorative Excellence") co-hosted a one hour program at the Chicago Dental Society's  2005 Midwinter Dental meeting, one of the largest dental meetings in the world!

Some of you are aware that I'm co-developing software with Dr. John Kois, founder of "Creating Restorative Excellence."  Please follow this link to see an example of the output of the software.  Dr Kois and I are finished with the first version of the software, and are now working on version 2.
