Who is this course for?

For every dentist who:
• Works with analog or digital tools and wants to integrate both approaches, with an emphasis on analog learning and digital applications
• Wants to start using occlusal splints but doesn’t know where to begin
• Understands that lasting aesthetics and function in dentistry begin with proper diagnostics and functional analysis of the masticatory system
• Wants to provide comprehensive treatment without referring patients out
• Wants to develop treatment plans based on a deep understanding of the patient’s overall needs – not just their smile

For licensed dentists
Accredited by the Regional Chamber of Physicians and Dentists (WIL)

What will you learn?

Step-by-step comprehensive diagnostics

• How to use a facebow for precise treatment planning

Patient typology – key to therapeutic success
• Learn to identify whether you are dealing with a “biological” patient needing basic care, or a “complex” patient requiring advanced treatment planning

Basics of smile design
• How to use digital tools to visualize treatment outcomes in a way the patient can truly understand
• Discover the power of smile simulations as tools for communication and motivation

Occlusal splints – in practice
• Which splint to choose for specific clinical situations
• How to fabricate, fit, and adjust deprogramming and full-coverage splints
• The role of splints in the treatment of temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD/TMJ)

Why is it worth it?
