Implementing Occlusal Therapy Workshop – Level 2

Why Should I Take This Workshop?

  • Learn skills necessary to present and get acceptance to more extensive rehabilitation cases
  • Learn how to offer patients more conservative alternatives to full mouth rehabilitation
  • Develop confidence treating more extensive cases
  • Learn the indispensable techniques to do cases in stages over multiple years

Synopsis

Just like how any beautiful building has to be designed with meticulous drawings before the first scoop of dirt is ever removed, extensive mouth rehabilitation requires proper diagnosis and design before a headpiece is ever used. The key to predictability in results is great diagnosis with high-quality data and records as well as a comprehensive and methodic approach. In this course Dr. Jose-Luis Ruiz will share a simple, evidencebased method and approach to complex diagnosis, building on the already acquired knowledge of smile design using the DFED system and the Occlusal Disease Management System. In this course, participants will perform 2 simulated full mouth rehabilitation cases, from diagnosis to temporization, to final restorations, and occlusal adjustment. One case with severe wear and VDO loss will require opening the VDO, and one maintaining the same VDO
