Understanding occlusion and its effects on the Temporomandibular Joints as well as the airway has become essential for dentists today. Owning the ability to diagnose the causes of tooth wear and other chewing system disharmony enables the clinician to offer a more comprehensive and predictable approach to patient health and well-being. Participants will witness the incredible health benefits that are possible from a biological-based approach to diagnosis and treatment. Based on extensive research and observation of the human chewing system, bioesthetics gives you the tools to treat today’s challenges with confidence and long-term success.
You will achieve an understanding of how the chewing system works based on an Optimum Biologic Model of health. Naturally occurring long lasting occlusions will be presented in all age groups from children to senior citizens.
Course objectives for lecture:
- Why is occlusion important?
- Why is a Condylar Stability important?
- What are the Guidelines and Principles of Occlusion that can be applied to all cases in an effort to diagnose and treat with confidence? What is the relationship of the size and form of the Airway relative to Sleep Disordered Breathing and nocturnal bruxism?
- How does this apply to the everyday dental treatment of our patients?
- Presentation of Naturally Occurring Long Lasting Occlusions in all age groups. Understanding health versus disease.
- Location and size of occlusal contacts based on long lasting natural occurring dentitions.
- Understanding the role on CBCT Scans in analysis of the Airway.

- The Esthetic Plane of Occlusion, the Functional Plane of Occlusion & how they often differ.

- The Location and Size of occlusal contacts. Areas where there should not be contact.
- How to diagnose occlusal disorders and parafunction.
- The role of occlusion in restoring dental implants.
- The importance and role of anterior proprioceptive tooth guidance, horizontal and vertical overbite.
- Participants will be adjusting a set of models of an actual patient using both subtraction and addition.
- Presentation of actual restorative cases ranging from minimal dentistry to full mouth rejuvenation.
