hosted byKois Center, LLCManaging the Restorative/Periodontal Interface and Advanced Functional Occlusion Course is organized by Kois Center, LLC and will be held from Oct 28 - Nov 02, 2024 at Kois Center LLC, Seattle, Washington, United States of America.
Dresciption:
predictable management of soft and hard tissues is a critical component of successful restorative dentistry. Many times we are faced with unanticipated clinical challenges: black triangles between restored teeth, chronically inflamed tissues over a crown or sudden gingival recession after a crown preparation.
Implementing the principles in this course will greatly enhance your efficiency and accuracy when faced with important tissue management challenges. You will gain confidence in both cosmetic and restorative outcomes.
Understanding the biologic principles involved in developing a functional occlusion is vital to achieving predictable long-term restorative success. Traditionally, occlusion courses have centered on condylar position, muscle tension and gnathologic concepts such as canine guidance and mutual protection. The interpretations of these different schools of occlusion can be challenging to navigate.
The new paradigms presented in 303 Advanced Functional Occlusion will empower you to treat your patient’s restorative needs predictably and successfully and enable you to assess TMJ health and know the boundaries of your treatment options.
Course Objectives:
• Understand surgical and orthodontic concerns.
• Learn to coordinate therapy as it relates to the restorative/periodontal interface.
• Understand the metrics and anatomy of the dentogingival complex.
• Learn cervical limitations or enhancements to consider during tooth preparation.
• Learn pontic site and ridge management for prosthetics.
• Minimize and predict surgical defects when extracting teeth.
• Learn how bone and tooth structure can be favorably altered for restorative dentistry.
• Learn to manage biologic width, gingival margins, and contours.
• Learn how to perform esthetic crown lengthening.
• Determine acceptable compromises.
• Obtain a greater understanding of when tooth position vs. muscle position vs. condylar position should be used to establish the occlusal starting point for a restorative case.
• Learn how the horizontal and vertical components of occlusion can be combined with dentofacial parameters to optimize function and esthetics.
• Learn multiple techniques to obtain centric relation as a restorative reference position.
• Identify and categorize TMJ disorders into diagnostic subgroups and implement a treatment plan appropriate to the severity of the clinical findings.
• Understand the importance of joint stability and the sequencing of occlusal therapy for patients with TMD.
• Learn which lab records are required for cross mounting casts for complex cases and full-mouth rehabilitation.
• Learn new techniques, technologies, and materials to stage and segment complex cases.
• Learn the objectives of equilibration, and practice them through hands-on learning.
