The next issue of the Primary Dental Journal will focus on radiology and radiation protection. As a professional development journal for the whole dental team, we are keen to include all members of the dental profession, and are aware that this topic may not be as valuable for dental technicians. As a result, we would particularly like to hear from dental technicians who would be interested in contributing a piece for the January 2013 edition of the PDJ on dental materials. To get involved, please contact Justine Wallis at [email protected]
