• Occlusal Contacts
YOU’VE GOT QUESTIONS.
WE’VE GOT ANSWERS.
Most dentists have questions about occlusion, TMD and functional smile design.
This seminar will answer these questions and more.
1. Is it safe to restore a patient with a clicking joint?
2. Should anterior teeth always contact in Centric
Relation?
3. How long can a patient wear an anterior
deprogrammer like an NTI?
4. With a cuspid single tooth implant, would the occlusal
forces be more stable with a partial group function on
other anterior teeth?
5. When restoring severely worn upper anterior teeth,
can you add to the labial contour without interfering
with the neutral zone?
6. What does it mean when a patient wears deep groves
into an occlusal splint?
7. What role does stress play in TMD?
8. How do skeletal changes impact the neutral zone?
9. How soon after the orthodontist opens a deep bite
to make room for veneers is it safe to proceed with
restorations?
10. Is it necessary to use face-bow mounted casts
for routine single crowns on equilibrated,
nonsymptomatic patients?
YOU WILL LEARN
• Why all occlusion starts with the TMJs and how to be specific
in classifying the exact condition of the joints.
• Why centric relation is the most important concept to
understand. How to determine it, verify it and use it. How to
defuse all the misconceptions. Nothing in dentistry is more
important.
• Why the anterior guidance is the second most important
factor in all occlusal treatment and a key to anterior
esthetics. You should never have to guess about a single
decision regarding contour or position of front teeth.
• Why success in occlusal treatment depends on a peaceful
neuromuscular system and how to achieve it. How to
diagnose and solve problems of muscle hyperactivity and
TMD pain.
• Why the vertical dimension is important. When you can
change it and when you should not change it. How to
determine it and why there is so much confusion about it.
The fallacies of “bite raising” explained.
• Why the neutral zone is so critical to long term stability and
esthetics. How it affects the position of every tooth. How to
determine it.
11. Where do I start when the vertical is over closed and
teeth are all severely worn?
12. Some smile design techniques advocate widening the
arch into the buccal corridor to optimize esthetics. How
does this impact the neutral zone?
13. How significant is anterior guidance to obtaining a
stable result?
14. Why does a patient complain of pain on the opposite
side of a high restoration?
15. When is it safe to change vertical dimension and when
is it not safe to do so?
• Why the occlusal plane is so important to both
anterior teeth and posterior teeth. How, when
and why to change it.
• Why occlusal contacts must be in perfect harmony with
both the TMJs and the anterior teeth and what happens
when they interfere. How to absolutely guarantee
occlusal comfort predictably.
• Why the envelope of function must be
considered whenever anterior teeth are moved
or restored. How to determine the exact position
and inclination of anterior teeth. You’ll never
need to guess.
• Why Long Centric is important but so often misunderstood.
How to determine it exactly (no guessing).
• You will learn precise guidelines for determining the most
natural esthetic contour and position for both anterior teeth
and posterior teeth
• You will take the mystery out of occlusal splints
including deprogrammer splints - what they do and
don’t do. How to make the right occlusal splint for
the right reason.
16. How can you be sure the TMJs are healthy before
starting treatment?
17. How do I get patients to understand the need for
equilibration and to accept the treatment?
18. Can I obtain a CR bite record by using a lucia jig or leaf
gauge?
19. When restoring a severely worn dentition, how is
vertical dimension determined?
20. Why do my patients often think their upper anterior
restorations are too long?
