What’s the current state of women in dentistry and what can The Lucy Hobbs Project do going forward to continue to help?

A quartet of groundbreaking women discuss the state of women in our profession – and what the future likely holds with Incisal Edge dental lifestyle magazine.

• Dr. Lynda Dean-Duru, pediatric dentist in Ashburn, Virginia; winner of the 2013 Clinical Expertise Award,
• Dr. Maria C. Maranga, endodontist in Aquebogue, New York; winner of the 2014 Mentor Award,
