Description

Advanced course for dental professionals to deepen their understanding of condylography application in clinical practice!

 

Condylograph is a gnathological instrument that helps practitioners plan the treatment of rehabilitation cases and understand the functional dynamics of the lower jaw.

 

During the course with Prof. Slavicek, you will learn in detail about:


– Condylographic data analysis of the mandible during mastication, speech, and bruxing
– Condylographic data analysis of patients with muscle disorders, craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD) and temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD)
– Protocols of condylographic data interpretation and application for treatment planning and successful occlusal rehabilitation.

Lesson 1.Enabling Therapeutic Strategies for Condylogram Interpretation

– Defining the so-called Slavicek concept
– Interpretation and enabling therapeutic decisions with condylogram
– Comparison between the different condylography recording systems
– Condylographic data for occlusal reconstruction
– Defining the difference in terminology between condylograph, condylography, and condylogram
– The aim of condylographic interpretation
