Full Mouth Reconstruction is a training that provides comprehensive knowledge on bite reconstruction. If you want to provide holistic care for your patients, this is the perfect step towards doing so. It is also a must-know for every prosthodontist and orthodontist who wants to create a harmonious occlusion in accordance with the temporomandibular joint.
Before the workshops, you will learn the detailed anatomy and physiology of the temporomandibular joint and masticatory muscles by reading the pre-course manual and watching the webinars. You will learn about Centric Relation and whether it is the only acceptable position in TMJ. You will also learn how to deal with the vertical dimension of occlusion. The second series of preparatory webinars concerns dental photography and tutorial of creating presentation and digital smile design in Keynote. The preparatory stage is aimed at equalizing the level of participants and focusing on as many workshops as possible already on the spot.
Because a real adventure awaits you in Gdańsk.
We put special emphasis on minimal invasiveness, therefore we first learn how to plan treatment to rebuild teeth, but NOT to prepare them (Injection Flow Technique reconstruction).
Together with the physiotherapist Julia, we start with an examination and an interview to make the right diagnosis, thanks to which we will be able to easily determine which patient we can rebuild in his current bite, which requires quick or full deprogramming, and finally, who requires splint therapy and specialized team care.
You will learn everything we currently know about bruxism. You will see how to register the bite during the preparation for cross-mounting. You will learn the secrets of bite equilibration and you will personally perform equilibration the bite on specially prepared models.
You will learn how to perform DFA facebow registration, leaf gauge bite registration, lucia jig, Kois deprogrammer. You will learn what the original LIP technique is, how to perform Dawson’s maneuver, how to register the bite for the occlusal splint, how to make your own deprogrammer… And most importantly – you will practice all these procedures yourself during the workshops with patients at the clinic.
How to deal with a gummy smile? When to use veneer and when crown ? If crown then with shoulder or shoulder less ? What is mock up preparation? What are the protocols for the preparation and cementation of crowns and veneers? Nobody will leave the training without knowing the answers to these questions!
The whole thing is completed by a full workshop day, during which each participant independently performs rubber dam isolation, preparations under the microscope and a number of different prosthetic restorations. And here also a surprise! We prepare specially printed models with irregular teeth, imitation of caries, fillings and the structure of enamel and dentin through the mock-up with microscope.
Another important part of the training are dental photography and digital smile design workshops. In the era of social media and websites, it is worth taking care of this side of our practice.
Of course, each of you receives printed interactive books a whole range of gifts (e.g. leaf gauge or ready to use sets of burs) for the first patient right after the training. See you soon!
