Description
Dive into the basics of occlusion in functional concept with Professor Gregor Slavicek, a recognized expert in this field of dentistry!
In 12 consecutive lessons you will learn:
– Basic concepts of occlusion
– Classifications of occlusion and bruxism
– Characteristics of Angle Class 1, 2 and 3 and crossbite
– Step-by-step protocol for the manufacture and application of BruxChecker
– Functional analysis algorithm
– Protocol of conducting and reading the results of condylography
– Fundamentals of cephalometric analysis.
After completing the course, you will not have any uncertainty or lack of knowledge in one of the most difficult topics.
