Course Overview
Dive into the basics of occlusion in functional concept with Professor Gregor Slavicek, a recognized expert in this field of dentistry!
In 12 consecutive lessons you will learn:
- Basic concepts of occlusion
- Classifications of occlusion and bruxism
- Characteristics of Angle Class 1, 2 and 3 and crossbite
- Step-by-step protocol for the manufacture and application of Brux
- Checker
- Functional analysis algorithm
- Protocol of conducting and reading the results of condylography
- Fundamentals of cephalometric analysis.
After completing the course, you will not have any uncertainty or lack of knowledge in one of the most difficult topics.
