Topic: Restorative Dentistry
Tuition: $295.00
Credits: 3
Recommended For:
Dentists, Hygienists, Assistants, Students, Lab Technicians, Educator

Description:

Achieving long-term aesthetic and functional success in complex restorative cases begins with accurate bite records and proper case sequencing. This session explores one of the most pressing topics in restorative dentistry—how to confidently create a predictable, muscle-driven bite using the “Freedom Appliance” to achieve what is described as “muscle-centric occlusion.” By allowing the muscles to guide the condyle into its most stable position, clinicians enhance the precision, comfort, and longevity of full-mouth and large restorative cases.

Learn

• to understand how using an anterior midpoint stop appliance to guide muscles into ideal condylar position during bite registration
• step-by-step sequencing in taking muscle driven bite records
