And this mechanism will be implemented in Palestine soon.

A team of researchers from Al-Quds University, Faculty of Dental Medicine investigated the effectiveness of using an innovative technology, used for the first time in the region of the Middle East, in students’ dental pre-clinical work evaluation and grading.
