Description

Treatment planning and occlusion seem to get relegated and put on hold for those ‘special’ cases and perfect patients - we wonder why we do not get to provide comprehensive care more often. In this program, we will explore and discuss the application of communication, treatment planning, and occlusion in everyday dentistry and beyond. Drs. DeWood and Melkers will take you on a guided tour of applying these principles in various cases, from single tooth, quadrant, and full mouth to interdisciplinary care. They aim to help you implement these skills in your practice and patient care.

Learn to:

• differentiate purpose vs process as it applies to outcome-based treatment planning
• simplify the protocol for “case presentation,” so patients understand and ask for dentistry
• appreciate the balance between function, parafunction, and aesthetics
• visualize and plan realistic management of destructive forces in restorative dentistry
