Session 1 : OCCLUSION: *This is a prerequisite course.
From composite fillings to single crowns to multiple unit bridges to implant restorations, achieving predictable high-end restorative practice can be challenging for any dental practitioner. For cosmetic cases, full mouth reconstructions, partial/full dentures and implant restorations, understanding the particular patients’ occlusion is most critical for the successful outcome of the case.
