Michael Grassi and Alf Bunes have donated a Global Dental Operating Microscope to the General Dentistry Department at the Eastman Institute for Oral Health. The microscope, which has become a vital tool in endodontics, is set to revolutionise dental education and patient care at the renowned institution.
The donation was warmly received by Dr. Hans Malmstrom, chair of the General Dentistry Department, who expressed his gratitude and admiration for Drs. Grassi and Bunes, calling them excellent teachers deeply appreciated by the residents. Dr. Grassi, in turn, acknowledged the assistance of Trent Gooding and Thomas Adams from Johnson Controls in the installation of the microscope.
With a career spanning over 40 years at the Eastman Institute, Drs. Grassi and Bunes have been instrumental in shaping the future of dentistry.

The microscope is expected to greatly enhance the teaching and learning experience at the institute, allowing students to observe and participate in procedures with greater clarity. This, in turn, should lead to increased efficiency, reducing the time spent on procedures and improving outcomes.
The donation of the Global Dental Operating Microscope by Drs. Grassi and Bunes is seen as a significant contribution to the institute, enhancing its educational resources and clinical capabilities.
