Occlusion remains one of the most confusing topics in dentistry today due to seemingly different opinions on the importance of dictating restorative positions on each and every patient. To compound this issue restorative failures still occur despite meeting the “occlusal philosophies” of these camps teaching strict occlusal restorative positions.
In this recording Dr. John Nosti defines occlusion, simplifies common occlusion terminology, and reviews when restorative positions should and should not be used. If you have ever been confused between Centric Relation, Centric Occlusion, and Maximum intercuspation; if you have always wanted to know if posterior interferences truly play a role in occlusal stability; If you have ever wondered “Do I really need to fit every single patient into the same occlusal restorative position?”; or if you have wanted to learn a predictable way to take a centric relation bite registration or an increased vertical bite registration… this course is for you! Learn when occlusion truly matters!
