In this episode, Dr. Ibrahim will be talking about how the occlusion on Class IV Restorations can be optimised to get a long-term predictable result. We also shared the two mechanical failures in dentistry and the step-by-step process of a Class IV restoration with occlusion in mind.
The Protrusive Dental Pearl: Occlusion Whisperer - Ask your patient to bite together and listen - in a “good” occlusion, you should hear lots of tooth-to-tooth contact, whereas a thud indicates an issue. Use this in addition to more traditional methods of assessing the occlusion, and make sure you are satisfied with the occlusion before asking the patient “how does that feel?”
Are you ready to learn Occlusion in a way that makes sense, in your own time, with first class support and career boosting confidence to deliver Restorative Dentistry to the highest standard?
