Event Details
Recent evidence-based studies and review papers have seriously questioned traditionally held theories about the role of occlusion in restorative dentistry. Often dentists are left wondering whether occlusion has any real relevance at all. This situation is made all the more confusing because many patients seem to adapt to occlusal changes, which occur naturally over time, or which we introduce when we restore their dentitions. However, other patients do not adapt and this can lead to pain, tooth mobility, fractured teeth/restorations and excessive tooth wear. The presence of excessive tooth wear itself usually implies a hostile oral environment, in which occlusal forces are high and teeth and restorative materials are rapidly deteriorating. This new course discusses the management of the most common occlusal problems encountered in general practice and the main types of tooth wear. The hands-on classes demonstrate simple, practical techniques for recording, analysing and dealing with occlusal issues, including the restoration of worn teeth.
Major Topics
- Common Occlusal Problems in Practice
- The Main Types of Tooth Wear
- Occlusal Splints
- Treatment Planning for Worn Dentitions
- Choice of Materials for Rehabilitation
- Composite Resin Build Ups
- Short Clinical Crowns
- Understanding parafunction and its effect on treatment planning and the choice of materials
Learning Objectives
- Diagnosis and management of occlusal problems and tooth wear in general dental practice
Past participant feedback:  “Presenters were very engaging and provided good clinical tips and guidance during the hands-on component. Very diverse and relevant to private practice and covered more topics than I expected”.
