Occlusion concepts introduction into every day practice
Hands-on Courses
21-22 Sep 2023, 09:00 - 18:00
Area of interest:
General Dentistry, Orthodontics, Cosmetic Dentistry, Prosthodontics, Restorative Dentistry
Course Outline Day 1
The morning session will consist of a seminar on occlusion. The afternoon session will be a hands-on practical. This will cover face bows and jaw registration.
Course Aims
- Discuss the events precipitating the study of occlusion
- Appreciate the limitations of a balanced occlusion
- Understand the distinctions between Gnathology and Pankey Mann Schuyler theories
- Introduce the concepts of RCP, ICP and RAP
- Define how the dentition distributes lateral and vertical loading
- Describe the concepts of anterior and posterior guidance
- Understand the classification of levers and how this applies to occlusion
- Consolidate the theory and implications of bruxism
- Classify the options for lateral and protrusive guidance
- Consider the consequences of non-working side interferences
- Establish the three components of posterior stability
Course Objectives
By the time the delegate has completed this course he/she will:
- Manipulate the mandible to arc around its terminal hinge axis
- Confirm the tooth contact to register retruded contact position
- Evaluate the vertical and horizontal components of the RCP –ICP slide
- Demonstrate the examination for a mutually protected occlusion
- Identify the consequences of class II leverage in the occlusal scheme
- Record the guidance for a given occlusal scheme
- Critique the guidance and prescribe any adjustment
- Illustrate the protocol to identify non-working side interferences
- Conceptualize the impact of removing non-working side interferences
- Appreciate the treatment modalities for: working, balanced and non-working side guidance

Course Outline Day 2
The morning session will consist of an occlusal examination seminar and the afternoon session will consist of an occlusal examination practical.
Course Aims
