Occlusion, Does it still matter?

This two day program will provide an update based on a contemporary understanding of the role of occlusion as a key component for oral rehabilitation, and will do so with a focus on minimal intervention in re-establishing a functional occlusal scheme. The program will include different aspects of occlusion and its relevance for patient outcomes and oral health related quality of life expectations.
Three international clinicians from Guy’s Hospital and the University of London, and Universities of Geneva and Zurich, with broad experience and international reputations in oral rehabilitation will present specific information, and local speakers will also contribute.
This is a unique opportunity to attend and participate in a comprehensive program on occlusion which will address clinical questions with practical solutions. It will advance your practice opportunities and emphasise that occlusion does matter and has a specific role in treatment planning and case management.
The program has been planned to acknowledge the 30th anniversary of the specialty DClin Dent (prosthodontics) program in the University of Sydney, and local speakers are contributors to the program. In addition a new text – Oral Rehabilitation – A Case-based Approach has been written to profile the program and contains cases prepared by candidates who are now graduates of the program and specialist prosthodontists.
