Occlusion: The Key to Success in Dentistry

November 12, 2022  9:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Description

Occlusion can be one of the most challenging and confusing subjects in dentistry.  It is, however, one of the most, if not THE most, critical aspect of diagnosis, treatment planning and delivery when it comes to the longevity of the restorative dentistry that we provide for our patients.  Even the most beautiful of restorations will fail if the proper occlusal principles are not applied in its design and function.

This course will provide guidance, exploration and discussion of where we have been as a profession and where we are in our current understanding of the subject.

The fundamentals and theory of occlusion will be discussed but also supported with real-world applications and case examples.

Learning Objectives

• To establish basic concepts of occlusion for daily restorative practice
• To relate basic concepts of occlusion to clinical procedures
• To understand principles of appliance therapy
