Description
Achieve occlusal guidance and balance with the occlusal compass concept in functional rehabilitative cases!
During the course, you will learn about:
– Protocols for the assessment of functional wear facets
– Occlusal compass-guided wax-up
– Clinical application of the Natural Wax Technique (NAT) in static and dynamic occlusion
– Articulator-centric registration and anterior teeth in occlusal stability.
From a stable static occlusion to a guided and balanced dynamic occlusion free of interferences, this course is your chance to take your wax-up to the next level with the occlusal compass concept!
Lesson 1.Natural Wax Technique (NAT): Achieving Stable Static Occlusion
– Centric-static occlusal concept
– History and concept of the Natural Wax Technique (NAT)
– The fundamentals of the dental occlusal compass approach
– Dental occlusal compass concept approach, including:
- Color-coded segments
- Functional main directions.
– Utilization of the occlusal compass concept approach in:
- Protrusion (PT) movement
- Lateral excursion (LT) movement
- Mediotrusion (MT) movement
- Lateroprotusion (LPT) movement
- Medioprotrusion (MPT) movement
- Retrusive movement
- Immediate side shift (ISS).
– Application of the Natural Wax Technique (NAT) and functional wax-up
– Step-by-step protocols for the Natural Wax Technique (NAT).
Lesson 2.Natural Wax Technique (NAT) Dynamic Occlusion: Function and Guidance
– Defining the Natural Wax Technique (NAT) dynamic occlusion movement
– Functional areas and cusp-fossa relation in excrusive and incrusive movement
– Dynamic occlusion concept in posteriors: natural and functional wear process
– The condylar path way when working with the occlusal compass concept approach
– Analysis of tooth morphological anatomy.
Recommended for: Functional dentists, Dental technicians.
Lesson 3.Anterior Teeth Rehabilitation: Guidance and Balance in Harmony
– Tasks and relationships of anterior teeth in static and dynamic occlusion
– Relationship of anterior tooth morphology with function and aesthetics
– Function-related relations of the aesthetic and beauty phenomena
– Static and dynamic occlusion when restoring anterior teeth morphology
– Considerations for anterior tooth design in prosthodontic and restorative dentistry
– The significance of anterior teeth in occlusal stability and overall oral health
– Natural Wax Technique (NAT) for the rehabilitation of anterior teeth.
Recommended for: Functional dentists, Dental technicians.
Lesson 4.Articulator Centric Registration and Clinical Application of the Occlusal Compass Concept
– Step-by-step occlusal adjustments with different articulator settings
– Step-by-step facebow registration and bite transfer
– Finding, marking, and evaluating wear facets on the mounted dental cast
– Physiological freeway space on the balancing side
– Tips and tricks on working with the occlusal compass concept for full arch rehabilitation.
Recommended for: Functional dentists, Dental technicians.
