Learning objectives
Delegates will be able to understand:
- The practical considerations of clinical occlusion in relation to the treatment of the worn dentition, including the taking of facebow and inter-occlusal records
- Finding centric relation, articulator selection and the concept of relative axial movement ‘Dahl phenomenon’
- Be able to assess and diagnose pathological tooth wear
- Be able to determine which cases require active restorative intervention and where passive management (prevention and monitoring) would suffice
- Be able to effectively treatment plan for the management of wear cases, including the ability to apply established principles of aesthetics and occlusal stability to attain predictable outcomes
- The merits and drawbacks of the different treatment protocols, materials (metal alloys, ceramic and resin) and techniques used to restore the worn dentition, including conventionally and adhesively-retained indirect restorations
- Develop the skills and knowledge to treat worn localised and generalised tooth wear
Who is this Course for?
Practitioners interested in the treatment of tooth wear in their day-to-day practice
Clinicians wishing to develop their knowledge of practical occlusion
Practitioners who would like to treat suitable cases at their practice rather than refer
Clinicians who wish to explore their potential to increase their revenue and treatment satisfaction.
