3:30PM – 5:00PM

Occlusal Philosophies: In Search of a Common Denominator

  • Over the past hundred years, we have seen at least five completely different condyle positions in the temporomandibular joint, and each position was considered the best. At the same time, the definition of the central relation itself has changed 26 times, and the commonly considered compulsory incisal and canine leads have lost their importance. It also turned out that “bad occlusion” does not cause bruxism, and the basis of TMD has more to do with medicine than dentistry – which is still unacceptable in many circles.
  • So let’s take a look at how it all started, how it changed and why many so-called occlusive philosophies contradict each other. Do we really have to take one of the “sides” or are there common denominators?

Why Choose

Pound for Pound

When I started my implant journey I had attended a lot of introductory courses that were both expensive and didn’t teach enough, as most of them were promoting the company’s product and consisted of mainly advertising and a false sense of security that implants were easy to place without adequate background theory. Because these courses didn’t cover the fundamentals, I was missing a lot of theory.

The opposite of them were the longer intensive courses that cost too much for me as a beginner as I wasn’t sure whether I was ready to commit $10,000 or more before I had even placed an implant.

I created this course to solve my own dilemma I faced when I started out. It is a no-fluff, business only course jammed packed with knowledge of an intensive modular course just without the price tag. In this course I don’t simply teach you how to place an implant.

Anyone can place
an Implant

Anyone can place an implant it’s not that much harder than drilling a cavity or a crown prep.

Think
Critically

I’ll teach you how to think critically which is what you truly need.

Literature
& Concepts

I will be going through a lot of literature to explain to you why you follow the concepts you follow.

800+ Slides

You will be given an 800+ slide booklet to accompany your studies and practice.

Accountability

You will be tested throughout the course to make sure you understand the concepts.

Fundamentals

Covering the fundamentals and theory, while diving deep into hands on training and application.
