Occlusion Masterclass 2023

The Occlusion Masterclass 2023
by Dr Ash Parmar and Dr. Robert Kerstein is now LIVE!

Hi everyone

Occlusion is such a fundamental part of dentistry but is one area that is largely misunderstood, leading to unnecessary problems and stress

Dr Robert Kerstein is a world leader in occlusion training. As a prosthodontist based in Boston, USA, he has a particular interest in the T-Scan digital occlusal analysis system, has published nearly 90 papers on the subject and has some very valuable insights to share

I am delighted to announce that Dr Kerstein and I will be lecturing together at QMUL in London on Saturday 28th October 2023. We will be covering traditional occlusion techniques as well as the T-Scan and I will share with you some of the many cases that I have completed over my career and how I ensure that I leave my patients well balanced and happy, virtually illiminating breakages and issues down the line. These cases include composite bonding, porcelain veneers, Implant cases, wear cases and complex smile makeovers

Join us for this content packed one day Occlusion Masterclass and let us demystify occlusion and help you feel confident that you understand how to effectively check and adjust occlusionI hope to see you there,

Ash

The Occlusion Masterclass is an intensive one day course that will start with the fundamenals of occlusion and build to more complex situations and solutions, giving you valuable, real world knowledge and skills to take away and apply in practice. These principals will give you a step-by-step approach to occlusion in all areas of dentistry, including composite bonding, porcelain veneers and crowns, implant dentistry and wear cases

Good occlusion ensures that the patient is comfortable and happy. Breakages and wasted chair time are virtually illimated, which avoids stress and remakes

This is a rare chance to learn from Dr Robert Kerstein and Dr Ash Parmar face-to-face. Book now and take your understanding of occlusion to another level!

Topics covered by Dr Ash Parmar:

• An introduction to basic occlusion principles in layman’s terms for general practice.
• How to do a detailed clinical and occlusal examination – learn what to look for to help in diagnoses.
• Intelligent use of articulating papers – precise details of which papers to use, as well as the limitations of just using articulating papers.
• When to use a facebow and articulator
• Practical demonstration of how to take a Kois facebow record and a Denar facebow record.
• Checking occlusion properly when doing a large composite or porcelain veneers case (8-10 units) – avoid restorations from breaking and expensive remakes in the long-term.
• Types of tooth wear and how to occlusal adjust to remove occlusal interferences.
• Treating a wear case: a step-by-step approach.
  Practical demonstration in how to take centric relation records using two reliable and reproducible techniques.
  How digital occlusion and measuring the force levels and the timing of occlusal contacts using T Scan has revolutionized dentistry.
• The importance of excellent digital occlusion records for medico-legal purposes

Topics covered by Dr. Robert Kerstein

• The benefits of T-Scan technology compared to the traditional way of thinking about occlusion. The mood in modern dentistry is to “go digital” – why not think like this when it comes to occlusion?
• Doing the paper mark challenge – discover the limitations of just using articulating papers alone (which is what most dentists do).
• Why it is important to focus on working in MIP, and the myth/problems associated with working positionally in other jaw positions.
• A review of important scientific studies and evidence to support the routine use of digital occlusion technology and what it means it your patients.
• Advanced diagnoses and treatment planning – how to become a better dentist and offer optimal dental care for your patients.
• Complications and failures in restorative, cosmetic, and implant dentistry – a review of many clinical cases and how to actually avoid problems
• How to help your patients who suffer from headaches, TMJ problems, and other issues – the concept of “Disclusion Time Reduction
• Explanation of EMG and how this can be used to help occlusal issues and Disclusion Time Reduction
• Practical demonstration of the T-Scan occlusal analysis system – live demonstration of measuring occlusion digitally (far more precise and accurate than articulating papers alone).Who is this masterclass suitable for: 

Every dentist! Whether private or NHS, GDP or specialist, occlusion is an important part of dentistry that is often poorly understood. Whether you have been qualified for a year or for decades you will learn practical tips to take away and apply in practice
