Introduction to Implant Dentistry Based on Occlusal Concepts 2024

Introduction to Implant Dentistry Based on Occlusal Concepts is organized by UCLA School of Dentistry and will be held on Jun 01, 2024 at UCLA School of Dentistry, Los Angeles, California, United States of America.

Description:
Most dentists would agree that understanding a particular patient's occlusion is most challenging and critical for the successful outcome and longevity of the case. This is true from simple direct restorations to fixed/removable prosthodontic cases to implant restorations. Yet, most dentists are not satisfied with the occlusion knowledge they got from dental school or usual continuing education courses.

This course will introduce general dentists to occlusal concepts that can be applied to natural dentition and complex implant cases. Such occlusal understandings are especially helpful for treatment planning and execution of implant cases. This course is well suited for those who wish to have better understanding of occlusion physiology.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify aspects of occlusion physiology for various patient types
• Demonstrate knowledge of why occlusion is critical to successful outcome of implant cases
• Learn how to be able to set up cases for stable longevity
