Aims
  • To discuss the relevance of the “ideal occlusion” in restorative dentistry. 
  • To discuss methods of recording the occlusion. 
  • To discuss when to conform or reorganise an occlusion 
  • To discuss articulator selection and how to record a facebow transfer.
  • To show how articulator settings can be set to aid the clinician and optimise clinical efficiency 
  • To discuss a number of clinical scenarios where an appreciation of the occlusion helped to ensure a successful outcome when providing fixed and removeable prosthodontics.
Objectives
  • Participants should have an improved knowledge of occlusal terminology. 
  • Be more confident in assessing and recording an occlusion. 
  • Appreciate when it may be appropriate to conform or reorganise an existing occlusal scheme, even at an increased occluding vertical dimension.
