In-Depth Training on Full Mouth Reconstruction
This course represents the most comprehensive training available globally on Full Mouth Reconstruction. It spans an extensive array of topics, from Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) and Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) to advanced smile design, physiotherapy interventions, and vertical dimension of occlusion. The curriculum incorporates the SDS concept, use of deprogrammers, and principles of centric relation.
Participants will gain invaluable interdisciplinary collaboration experience, primarily with orthodontists and surgeons, enhancing their ability to manage complex cases. The course covers all aspects of dental restoration, including preparation for veneers, crowns with and without shoulders, inlays, impressions, and dental photography.
Advanced digital dentistry techniques such as scanning, axiography, and the use of digital tools are integral parts of the training. Additionally, participants will learn about cementation processes and the art of occlusal equilibration.
This training is unique in its depth and breadth, ensuring that practitioners are well-equipped to handle full mouth reconstructions with a holistic and integrated approach.
Prę-course webinars
Prepare for comprehensive learning in full mouth reconstruction essential for prosthodontists and orthodontists. Pre-course materials include detailed studies on the temporomandibular joint and masticatory muscles, Centric Relation, and TMJ radiology. Preparatory webinars also cover dental photography and digital smile design to ensure readiness for the hands-on workshops.
Extensive Practical Workshops:
- Advanced Bite Registration Techniques: Learn to register the bite for night guards and mandibular advancement devices during the preparation phase. Gain proficiency in DFA facebow registration, leaf gauge bite registration, lucia jig, Kois deprogrammer, and Dawson manipulation. Each session is designed to enhance your skills in precise bite registration and adjustment.
- Bite Equilibration and TMJ Assessment: Discover the secrets of effective bite equilibration and personally perform these adjustments on specially prepared models. Additionally, learn how to conduct thorough examinations of the masticatory muscles and temporomandibular joints, crucial for diagnosing and planning treatment.
- Dental Photography and Orthodontic Extrusion: Engage in detailed dental photography workshops for documentation and treatment planning. Hands-on sessions in orthodontic extrusion provide practical skills in rapid ferrule recovery.
- Digital Dentistry Tools: Master the use of cutting-edge digital tools with workshops focused on dental scanning, T-scan, and jaw mobility assessments using Modjaw. These tools are essential for modern dental practices aiming to enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes.
Leave equipped with practical skills, interactive books, various gifts including leaf gauges, and sets of burs ready for your first patient post-training. This training is designed not just to educate but to transform your practice.
We invite you to join us for a journey of professional growth and learning that promises not only to enhance your skills but also to enrich your dental practice profoundly. See you soon!
