Occlusion Explained:
Understanding and managing functional occlusion is essential to the long-term stability of restorative dentistry.

With the myriad of opinions and approaches that exist within the dental profession, managing occlusion can be a daunting responsibility.

Functional Occlusion will provide you with a practical understanding of the masticatory system and teach you to utilize your laboratory technicians, office team, innovative technology and the dental articulator to predictably manage occlusion. You will be introduced to access methods which are scientifically researched, evidence-based and clinically proven.
