Bite Registration with TENS: Neuromuscular Dentistry in Clinical Practice with Fabio Savastano
Bite Registration with TENS: Neuromuscular Dentistry in Clinical Practice with Fabio Savastano
Course overview
Bite registration and treatment planning of complex rehabilitation cases using TENS-Only technique in a neuromuscular dentistry approach!
Neuromuscular dentistry explores the connections among the temporomandibular joints (TMJ), teeth, muscles, and nerves. It aims to establish the jaw's optimal physiological position in rehabilitation cases to achieve predictable results.
During the course with Dr. Fabio Savastano, you will learn in detail about:
Application of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) appliance in clinical dentistry
Protocols of TENS-only technique for occlusal analysis and bite registration
Treatment of orthodontic and prosthodontic cases within a neuromuscular concept.
