Session 2: Occlusal Assessment, Appliance Design & Adjustment
Practical Skills
14 hours CPD
Small group practical learning under the close supervision of your highly experienced mentors.
The delegates work in groups of three, taking turns as dentist, nurse and the patient. Each stage is carefully monitored so that at the end you will have your own individual, fully adjusted, high quality appliance*. We have found this arrangement gives a great experience and insight for participants.
Each delegate will be given course notes and access to a private group with mentors and fellow delegates who attended the course to keep in touch and have any questions answered subsequently.
On completion you will have the knowledge to assess occlusal problems, design and adjust appliances on your own patients and have a better understanding of TMD.
*Your appliance and lab fee is included in the course fee. A record of your own dentition will be taken on the first day on the practical sessions (27th April). This is to allow your appliance to be made, ready to adjust at Session 2 in May. Further details will be given.
NB: the practical course will concentrate on anterior deprogrammers and full adjusted hard occlusal appliances.
