osteocom is pleased to introduce the new course Occlusion in General Dental Practice developed with Dr. Devang Patel BDS MFGDP (MJDF) MSc Cons Dent FHEA MBA.
This program provides participants with fundamental concepts of occlusion, with the aim to help dentists in their daily practice and in treating cases of simple TMJ disorders in general dental practice.
Thanks to extensive practical step-by-step demonstrations, this course covers:
-
- mounting models such as facebow records, centric relation records
- mounting models on the articulator for occlusal assessment
- fabrication, fitting and adjustment of a Michigan splint, a precious resource to understand occlusal scheme used for full mouth reconstruction case
Occlusion in general dental practice is a course designed to ensure direct implementation of all the topics covered. This program, comprising theoretical and practical videos, will facilitate a deeper understanding of the principles at the basis of successful full mouth reconstructions.
Format Description:
-
- 17 Lectures (12 theoretical lectures and 5 practical demonstrations) divided into 3 modules:
-
- Introduction to Occlusion (Theoretical and Practical) lectures 1 to 7
- Occlusion and TMD (Theoretical) lectures 8 to 11
- Occlusal Splints (Theoretical and Practical) lectures 12 to 17
-
Learning Objectives:
- Familiarize with basic terms and concepts pertaining to occlusion
- Deepen occlusal assessment concepts
- Understand the role of occlusion in treatment planning
- Study temporomandibular joint disorders
- Replicate facebow registration procedures and interocclusal recording using lucia jig for mounting models in CR
- Master Michigan splint fabrication procedures and understand the principles of occlusion/occlusal scheme
By enrolling in this training course, you’ll get the opportunity to understand, deepen and master different aspects:
- Full understanding on various terminologies used in occlusion
- Full occlusal assessment
- Patient assessment for TMD, diagnose and treat simple TMJ disorders
- Splint choice for treating TMDs or Occlusal issues
- Facebow recording via denar slidematic facebow
- Interocclusal recording in CR or CO using lucia jig or leafguage
- Michigan splint fit and adjustment
The Osteocom Occlusion in General Dental Practice program is best for general dentists, prosthodontists, restorative specialists, and dental students who want practical, evidence‑based training in occlusion and its impact on everyday dentistry. It emphasizes how occlusal principles affect restorative success, patient comfort, and long‑term stability.
