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.

Occlusal Assessment, Appliance Design & Adjustment

Practical Skills
12 hours CPD
Kendrick View Dental Practice, Berkshire, RG1 5BL

Session Two: All day Saturday and Sunday.

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.

NB: the practical course will concentrate on anterior deprogrammers and full adjusted hard occlusal appliances.

These first sessions are mandatory and must be attended prior to the practical days. However, the theory days can be attended alone, without completing the second part of the programme.
