The end of occlusal philosophies has arrived. Welcome : “The orthopedically stable bite.”

Every day, we adjust our restorations, yet many patients keep coming back with high fillings or crowns, tooth sensitivity, broken or dislodged veneers. This course will teach the when, why and how of occlusal adjustment. It naturally follows the “Effective Bite Splint” course. Once you’ve learned to recognize occlusal problems and their consequences, you’ll find how much a bite splint is useful and the follow through is occlusal correction.

In the first course, we learned how and why to make a splint and how to properly adjust it. In this course, we will apply those principles to occlusal adjustment.
We adjust the occlusion on our restorations daily, but are we doing it well enough? Why do so many patients with restorations come back with a high spot, that bothers or that causes pain? Why do our veneers chip or come off? Why do porcelain crowns break?

Occlusal adjustment on a tooth, a quadrant, a bridge, an implant or even on the whole mouth must optimize the distribution of forces, both for the comfort of the wearer and to increase the longevity of our work. This course will help you hone your skills, no matter how complex the adjustment.
Science-based occlusal adjustment, recognized and taught in many universities, now has a name: “ The Orthopedically stable bite.”

This course aims to familiarize you with what contributes to effective occlusal adjustment.
By the end of the course, you’ll have learned the 10 factors affecting occlusion. How to recognize, record, adjust and/or treat and how to discuss with the patient.
This course is designed for all dentists, from those practising strictly operative dentistry to those who excell in full mouth rehabilitation.
