For years, she has been raising awareness among dental professionals about the importance of a holistic approach to treatment.

She will help you lay a strong foundation on which to build your new clinical skills.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  • How to start working with occlusion: simple steps to clinical success

  • Occlusion refresher – essential foundations you must know to move forward
  • Effective treatment is impossible without understanding the forces at play in the oral cavity. You’ll revisit the basic principles that often get overlooked in daily work but are crucial for diagnosing and preventing complications.
  • Introduction to restorative materials in occlusal treatment
  • How do you choose the right material for each case? When is composite appropriate, and when should you opt for ceramic? What are the risks and limitations? Dr. Stankowska will show you how to make informed material choices in the context of function.
  • Case studies – from simple to complex
  • You’ll review real clinical cases where the discussed methods were applied. You’ll follow the diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making process – from simple reconstructions to full bite rehabilitations.
  • Key success factors in occlusal treatment
  • You’ll gain practical tips to help you avoid common mistakes and make your treatment more predictable and safer – for both you and your patients.
