As Basil Mizrahi and Jason Smithson agree: once you can adjust an occlusal appliance insightfully and intelligently you have the skills to provide complex full mouth dentistry in time.

Lower Centric Appliance 1a (1)

Comprehensive Appliance Course

The course runs over two weekends from early till late to allow you to attain practical, hands-on skills underpinned by theoretical knowledge imparted to you.

Both weekends are a mixture of theory and practical teaching. All under supervision.

The course curriculum covers:

  • how to carry out an occlusal and muscle exam on your patient
  • how to make an anterior deprogrammer and when to use it
  • how to manipulate to CR and record it using various methods
  • how to use a Denar semi adjustable articulator.
  • how to take a Facebow
  • how to prescribe, make and fit a hard stabilisation CR appliance
  • how to communicate with a laboratory when occlusion is an issue
  • how to treatment plan for patients with occlusal issues
  • how to use acrylic, again!
  • how to recognise and classify some intra capsular issues
  • introduction to some facial pain and temporary mandibular dysfunction issues.

The course is delivered in small groups, allowing for close supervision and personalised learning with our highly experienced mentors: Dr Charlotte Bishop, Dr Devin Vaghela, Dr Mark Hargreaves and Dr Jette Holbrook. All share a passion for occlusion, TMD, and restorative dentistry, and would love to share their knowledge and experience with you.

For practical areas of the course, 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.
