The occlusal plane system: predictable approach for complex functional cases in daily practice
The occlusal plane system: predictable approach for complex functional cases in daily practice
Course overview
More and more patients are showing up in the office, where not only aesthetic wishes needs to be met, but also functional problems play a significant role and needs to be solved. The lecture presents a new concept to analyze such cases, carried out jointly by dentist and dental technician, based on the patient request, the functional analysis and the treatment prognosis.
Attendees will learn a predictable way to solve such cases, also the importance of different growth patterns, Angle classes and their causes, the functional treatment by using the Plane system according to MDT Udo Plaster based on the Ala-Tragus line and the NHP (Natural Head Position) and finally the prosthetic restoration.
