Worn Dentition (Sep 17 - 19, 2017)

Worn Dentition is organized by Spear Education and would be held during Sep 17-19, 2017 at Spear Education, Scottsdale, Arizona, United States Of America. The target audience for this medical event basically for Dentists. This CME conference has been approved with a maximum of 22.50 CE Credits.

This workshop is designed to help you enjoy increased predictability and longevity in your dentistry by basing treatment decisions on how the patient created the wear, and reducing the energy in the system through occlusal design. The workshop focuses on diagnosis, etiology, and an understanding of the principles that increase longevity of restorations for wear patients.Discussions and demonstrations are blended with hands-on exercises that allow participants to ground learning in doing by “treating” two wear patients on mounted casts in the course.

Course Objectives:
• Why airway is an important part of the differential diagnosis in wear cases.
• To diagnose and treatment plan wear patients, including etiologies of wear, patterns of wear and determining when interdisciplinary treatment is required.
• To design the occlusion best suited to what a patient does with their teeth.
• To manage esthetic outcomes based on how tooth position, gingival levels and occlusion change as teeth wear.
• A thorough understanding of vertical dimension, and when and how to change it.
• Differences between multiple interdisciplinary treatment options.
• How to verify diagnosis and treatment plan through appliance therapy, direct composites and provisionals to optimize predictability.
• How to treatment plan occlusion that creates the greatest chance of success.
