In June, Oregon Association of Dental Labs (OADL) donated 14 Marathon Handy 701 hand pieces to the PCC dental program. All students now have new or almost new, functioning hand pieces. If PCC’s dental lab technology program had to purchase them from the Precision 2 Laboratory Equipment supplier, their bill would have been $10,500. The association and the PCC dental lab program at Sylvania Campus have maintained a business partnership for many years. PCC has the sole dental lab technology program in Oregon. Congrats to all in dental lab technology!
