Penny Hatzimanolakis, RDH, is surprised Thursday morning with a bouquet of flowers in honor the 10th season of the Live Dentistry Stage at PDC — and Hatzimanolakis’s 10th season of hosting. Presenting the flowers on behalf of the PDC organizing committee is Bruce Ward, DDS, chair of the committee. Also on stage is Dmitriy Ivanov, DDS, about to present a live demonstration with Ho-Young Chung, DDS. Hatzimanolakis has been on the PDC organizing committee since 2007, and among here suggestions for improving the Live Dentistry Stage this year was ‘adding some flowers’ out in front.
