Important Information for Face to Face Courses

Please ensure you have a suitable face covering following government guidance. If you are exempt from wearing a face covering please notify us as soon as possible.

Please note: A face visor or shield may be worn in addition to a face covering but not instead of one. This is because face visors or shields do not adequately cover the nose and mouth, and do not filter airborne particles.

For delegates attending face to face courses please be advised that your details may be shared with NHS Test and Trace if requested.

Face to face attendees are reminded that:

Should they have symptoms of coronavirus (a high temperature, a new continuous cough or a loss or change to sense of smell or taste), they should not attend an event and let the organisers know by contacting dentaladmin.yh@hee.nhs.uk

It is the individual’s duty and responsibility to comply with public health measures to control the Covid-19 pandemic and respond to NHS Test and Trace or local contact tracing systems. If contacted, attendees should confirm their attendance at this event and ask them to contact dentaladmin.yh@hee.nhs.uk for the attendee list.

Aims

The aim of the course is to provide delegates with a clearer understanding of how to assess patients occlusion and highlight the important occlusal factors that need to be taken into account when planning restorations.

Objectives

The Course aims to:

  • Discuss the relevance of the “ideal occlusion” in restorative dentistry.
  • Discuss methods of recording the occlusion.
  • Discuss when to conform or reorganise an occlusion
  • Discuss articulator selection and how to record a facebow transfer.
  • Show how articulator settings can be set to aid the clinician and optimise clinical efficiency
  • Discuss a number of clinical scenarios where an appreciation of the occlusion helped to ensure a successful outcome when providing fixed and removeable prosthodontics.
Learning outcomes

At the end of the course:

  • 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.
