Description
Plan your treatment with a detailed understanding of occlusal analysis and its relation to TMJ biomechanics, led by Dr. Maurizio Giacomello, a professor of gnathology from Italy!
Unlock a new approach to restorative and functional treatment with the key concepts of gnathology, allowing you to provide patients with long-lasting treatments!
During this course, you will learn in detail about:
– The cranio-mandibular relationship
– Functional anatomy of the stomatognathic system
– Functional and digital occlusal analysis
– Protocols of treatment planning based on the key concepts of gnathology
– Protocols of TMD diagnosis
– Protocols of TMD treatment and splint therapy.
Gnathology is important in all branches of dentistry as it reflects the anatomy, physiology, and even pathology of the TMJ in relation to occlusion and restorative dental procedures.
Start treating your patients based on the key concepts of gnathology now!
