From the Winnipeg Ferrier Gold Foil Society

Dr. Ron Harris from the University oflndiana paid a visit to the Winnipeg Ferrier Gold Foil Society on April 28th. A morning clinical session was held at the University of Manitoba with Dr. Har-ris as guest mentor. A variety of different clinical situations were treated with gold foil.

After a pleasant luncheon at the Westin Hotel, Dr. Harris

presented a didactic session which demonstrated the many and varied uses for gold foil. From the more exotic through the easier applications which are suitable for newcomers to the art.

An evening banquet at Victor's restaurant gave everyone an opportunity to get to know Ron personally, and capped a very successful day in the life of the study club.

The organization is incorporated in the State of Florida and serves to encourage practicing dentists to participate in the certification process whereby they undergo a lengthy written examination, the prepara-tion of cases for an oral examination, and then a practical exam which covers all phases of restorative den-tistry. Persons interested in the certification process are encouraged to write the Secretary of the American Board of Operative Dentistry, Dr. David Mo lien, at 38 Wakefield Court, Iowa City, Iowa 52240.
