Clinically oriented presentations will focus on the application of occlusal concepts, principles of articulation, determinants of mandibular movement, and occlusal assessment. Emphasis will be placed on occlusion and the periodontium. Selected course participants will review the theory and use of dental articulators, including hands-on familiarization. Indications and principles of occlusal equilibration are discussed and applied in a laboratory exercise. Occlusal assessments/evaluations are conducted on selected patients.
