Join us for a 3-part course on fabrication, fitting and review of the flat plane occlusal guard.
Introduction: Management of load and prevention of fatigue/overloading failure is the next step in oral health care after over 100 years of focusing on decay and periodontal disease. Fatigue failure of teeth over time is a growing problem, regardless of restorative status. This 3-part course will examine the rationale behind and methods for fabrication of occlusal guards, while at the same time participants will fabricate, fit and review a guard.
Objectives: At the completion of the course, participants should be able to:
-
determine when an occlusal guard is indicated
-
identify the relaxed hinging position and transfer this information to an articulator
-
provide a laboratory prescription for fabrication of the desired splint attributes
-
fit the occlusal guard for optimal stability, passivity, retention and patient comfort
-
review the occlusal guard over time and be comfortable making adjustments
Details: There will be 7.5 hours of verified CPD – attendance at all 3 sessions is a requirement. This course is to be supported by Oraltec and provided by Paul Cashman, Specialist Prosthodontist. This cost of the course is $975, limited to 8 participants and will take place at Canterbury Dental Specialists, 11 Normans Road, Strowan, Christchurch 8052 on the following dates from 9am until midday:
