Functional Occlusion and Full Mouth Rehabilitation

If you are not 100% confident how to predictably treat a complex dental case from 8 to 28 units, this 2-day seminar is for you.

Concern over occlusion and tooth wear can cause many clinicians from attempting to treat a variety of patients in their practices. It is essential to understand how to work up and diagnose these patients as well as the steps involved in executing the treatment. In this information packed 2 day seminar Dr. Stephen Phelan will present the system he uses in his own practice to diagnose and treatment plan patients with complex dental problems such as tooth wear and occlusal dysfunction. Dr. Phelan will then walk you step-by-step through the treatment of a variety of these types of complex full arch and full mouth patients that he has successfully treated over the past twelve years. If you dream about treating more large and complex cases in your practice this seminar will serve as the foundation and blueprint for making those dreams a reality. As an added bonus to this years seminar Dr. Phelan will use a visualiser to demonstrate live how to trim the bite records and mount a case on an articulator. This would be a great learning experience for your team members that are going to be responsible for mounting your cases.
