Synopsis

Patients wish to keep their natural teeth their entire life. A great obstacle to this is "Occlusal Disease." Occlusal Disease (OD) is so prevalent and insidious, it is responsible for most restorative failures and is no less destructive and costly to the patient than decay or periodontal disease. Proper implementation, diagnosis and treatment of OD could be a great benefit to your patients, making dental work more relaxing, predictable and enjoyable In this very practical workshop you will lean how to implement a methodic and incremental approach to diagnosis which can be easily implemented in any practice and used on every single patient. During this workshop you will perform examinations to assess the seven signs and symptoms of Occlusal Disease, learn when and how to take Phase II advance diagnosis records, mounts, cast, etc. You will learn how to develop a restorative diagnosis implementing an occlusal strategy. You will also learn and perform additive and subtractive equilibration.
