Welcome!

It is with great pleasure and excitement that I introduce to you the first International Certified Dental Technician Association (iCDT)!  This is the culmination of twenty-seven years spent envisioning, networking, advertising and laying the foundation for this global venture.

Throughout my many years of teaching, I have helped over 1,600 students from all over the world graduate as professional dental technicians and find promising careers.  Many of these graduates have gone on to manage their own dental labs.  I have come to be very familiar with the various challenges and needs within our constantly evolving dental technician industry.  These experiences have helped me realize the importance of communication and working together in developing the dental technician community.

I strongly believe that through this association, we can work together to support the professional development and success of dental technicians all over the world.  I invite you to explore our website and consider becoming a member.  We will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

Sincerely,

Richard Nam,
Chairman
