The TIP IPAMAGI VIII seminar was held at Hotel Pangeran Beach, Padang, featuring expert speakers in the field of dental materials. The seminar discussed the latest developments related to various types of dental materials and their applications in daily clinical practice, as well as the newest dental technologies.
This activity served as a platform for lecturers, students, and practitioners to gain up-to-date knowledge, broaden insights, and strengthen networks between institutions.
With the implementation of these two events, it is hoped that synergy will be created between the academic and clinical worlds in the development of science and technology in the field of dental materials in Indonesia.
