Participants Testimonials

“Having won the Panthera Master Cup increased opportunities for lecturing around the country. Along with going on the road, I have since shared presentations at LMT LabDay, webinars, company customers and help build business for my current employer, The Ottawa Dental Laboratory in Illinois. ”

— Mark Williamson, United States, 2017 Panthera Master Cup Winner

“The Panthera Master Cup was an opportunity for me to discover Panthera’s products, to get back to practical lab work after a long parental leave, and to realize an interesting case with a bar/super-structure on implants.”

— Alexia Gausmann, Germany, 2019 Panthera Master Cup Winner

“For the first time in my professional career I took first place in a competition, I do not know if that means something, but for me it means a lot, especially when i accept the challenge, to show my competence, technique and experience. Thank you Panthera for giving me the opportunity to take part in this competition with such a wonderful result.

Don’t miss it, take part in the competition!”

— Ioulianos Moustakis, Greece, 2020 Panthera Master Cup Winner
