Course lessons

Lesson 1: TMJ and Occlusion in Clinical Dentistry

• The aesthetic and function checklist
• Data collection and the desirability of the patient

• Anatomy of the TMJ
• History taking and TMJ clinical examination.

Lesson 2: Digital Occlusion Diagnosis

• Radiological analysis of the TMJ

• Posselts envelope of motion and its understanding in function of the jaw
• Myofascial pain dysfunction and sleep apnea
• Deprogrammers. Stabilization splints treatment protocols
• Digital stabilization splints.

Lesson 3: Introduction to occlusion and explaining terminology

• Occlusal analysis and detection of pathological occlusal process
• Mastication, swallowing, phonetics
• Ideal Occlusion. What is meant by that?
• Determination of intercuspal position (ICP) / centric occlusion (CO)
• Retruded axial position (RAP) / centric relation (CR)
• Retruded contact position (RCP)
• Posterior guidance system of the MD
• Anterior Guidance. Incision vs protrusion.

Lesson 4: Occlusal Analysis: Goals to Achieve and Treatment Visualization

• Occlusal analysis and examination
• Dynamic occlusion. Canine protected occlusion and semi group function and group function
