Yagob will be able to observe the second part of the demonstration today at 9:45 a.m. A variety of live sessions are scheduled through Wednesday. At the opposite end of the live- dentistry aisle, Jung-Min Kim, of Fort Lee, N.J., was checking out the free health-screening booths. Kim has been coming to the Greater New York Dental Meeting every year for more than a decade, in part because it’s so easy. “My practice is here in Manhat- tan, just over on 32nd Street,” he said. He and his brother are partners at 32 Central Dental P.C. “We’re nearby, so it’s a great way to earn C.E. credits.” Depending on his work sched- ule, Kim is able to take courses and attend other C.E. opportunities to earn between five and 25 credits at the meeting each year. This year, the practice will be open during the meeting, so he was here only for the weekend, to attend a couple courses and check out the exhibits. “The exhibit hall is a great way to keep up with what’s new — and to order sup- plies for the practice,” Kim said. “It’s a real benefit to be able to handle the products and have everything avail- able in one place.” Kim has his eye on a new pair of loupes from Designs for Vision (booth Nos. 1813, 2012 and 4625). He had already been measured Sunday morning and was leaning toward placing an order before leaving. “I really like the new wireless light you can get with the loupes,” he said, indi- cating a purchase was likely. Designs for Vision, with its ultra- loupes and light, high-definition headlights, is just one of seemingly countless dental companies here with 5 Marc J.

These are just a few examples among thousands.
