It is essential for every dentist and team member to recognize the signs, symptom and parameters of healthy occlusion. Anatomic structures related to the masticatory system will be presented to orient the listener to know the causes of tooth wear, tooth breakage, and other factors that effect the health of patients. Today's dentist needs to grasp the underlying factors, which relates clinical dentistry to both the gnathologic and neuromuscular principles in a logical process called gneuromuscular occlusion. Healthy occlusion vs. pathologic occlusion Recognizing the intra oral and extra-oral signs, symptoms When to maintain and when to alter VDO Occlusion and TMD/Orofacial pain Session : CDS1507 F152 MRONJ: What's New and What Can You Do?
