Treatment planning and occlusion seem to get relegated and put on hold for those ‘special’ cases and perfect patients. In this course, we will explore and discuss the application of communication, treatment planning and occlusion in everyday dentistry and beyond. The instructor will take attendees on a guided tour of the application of these principles in a variety of cases from single tooth, quadrant and full mouth, to multidisciplinary care. Our goal is to help you implement these skills in your practice.
