Which should you choose?

  • Choose Calin Pop if your main goal is to save time and feel more confident with the dam in your daily Class I and II restorations. It is the best “standard operating procedure” course.
  • Choose Apokin Alexander if you are a perfectionist who wants to see the most extreme, high-detail isolation techniques and learn how to handle cases that other dentists would give up on.
