IN REMEMBRANCE | | Mark Wilson, MDT Passes It is with deepest regret that we inform you of the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Mark Wilson, MDT. Since 2003, Mark has served as the Lead Technician in our Extend implant division and was responsible for the development and training of technicians, as well as client communication. Mark was a graduate of the University of Manchester Dental School in Manchester, England where he studied dental technology and became a Master Dental Technician. During his career, he worked with Dr. Hilt Tatum, one of the early pioneers in implant dentistry where he sharpened his knowledge and skills. Mark's passion was always to look for new technology and materials to help improve implant dentistry and to better serve our clients and their patients in a more informed way. In spite of a busy schedule at the lab, you would often find Mark spending time with clients and other technicians, acting as a constant teacher and mentor. The gifts of his love for the profession, his sense of family and certainly his friendship will serve as constant reminders of Mark within the Knight family. |
