OVERVIEW

This is the most comprehensive course offered by Gordon!

Complex rehabilitative needs, with and without overlying occlusion problems, are present in many of your patients. Are you ready to treat them? This presentation provides in-depth discussion and observation of many such patients treated by Gordon. The following aspects of oral rehabilitative care are included: simplifying diagnosis and treatment planning; if, what, and when to refer to other practitioners; integrating fixed, removable, and implant prosthodontic procedures; optimum use of staff; post-treatment follow-up and repair; and long-term maintenance of rehabilitative dentistry patients. Diagnosis and treatment of the following six conditions of occlusion are included: primary occlusal trauma; secondary occlusal trauma; clenching; bruxism; temporomandibular dysfunction, and abfractions.

You are encouraged to bring radiographs and casts of your own patients for whom you are planning comprehensive oral rehabilitative procedures. These cases will be discussed and observed and critiqued on closed circuit television. This course is well known to broaden your knowledge and create enthusiasm for treatment of complex cases, including respecting the financial resources of patients by accomplishing either complete or spaced, piecemeal treatment.
