Real World Occlusion: The Basics of Daily Occlusion
presented by:
Dr Jaz Gulati
Discover the bread and butter occlusal checks for daily restorative dentistry with Jaz Gulati.
In this lecture, focusing on restorative dentistry, Jaz reveals the importance of practical occlusal principles over theory. Learn why checking occlusion before procedures with the right tools is key for precise results and how to assess the biomechanical risk of our patients.
Through real case studies, Jaz shows the impact of minor occlusal adjustments and emphasises customised care for each patient. This lecture aims to provide dentists with practical occlusion strategies, as well as thought provoking questions about how you manage common daily scenarios (and whether they are correct!).
Aims & Objectives:
1) Help you to apply Occlusion in daily practice – starting with the very foundations.
2) Apply protocols for pre-operative and post-operative occlusal checks for daily posterior restorative procedures.
3) Evaluate the biomechanical risk of a patient.
4) Consider guidelines for evaluating physiological vs pathological wear.
