Mini-Marathon
CMO Education
This course aim is to introduce orthodontists and general dentists to these concepts and teach them to think "out of the box", paying special attention to function.
It's a hands-on course, with a strong clinical character, which means, theory with daily practice application.
At the end of the 3 day course, the participants should be able to diagnose the different types of malocclusions and to understand how to treat each case individually, both estetically and functionally.
Course Contents:
Day 1: Basic Principles and Functional Diagnostics
What is a malocclusion? The malocclusion seen from a functional point of view.Development of malocclusions, philogenesis and ontogenesis of malocclusionsPosterior Occlusal PlanePosterior Vertical DimensionPosterior DiscrepancyCompensation Mechanisms:- Articular compensation
- Vertical compensation
- Dento-alveolar compensation
Functional OcclusionOcclusal guidance and Posterior supportThe role of the PremolarsThe role of the MolarsDynamic Functional DiagnosticsClinical historyClinical examReference Position (RP)Articulator mountingCadiasCadiax (condilography)Therapeutic Position (TP)
