FULL MOUTH RECONSTRUCTION TRAINING PROGRAM
Full Mouth Reconstruction is a training program that provides comprehensive knowledge on bite reconstruction. You will receive a series of webinars to watch prior to the course which include topics on vertical occlusal dimension, Centric Relation – Total War, Radiology in TMD – Basics, and Articular discs.
You will see how to register the bite during preparation for cross-mounting and the secrets of bite equilibration. You will learn facebow registration, leaf gauge registration, lucia jig, kois deprogrammer, how to perform Dawson’s maneuver, how to register the bite for an occlusal splint, what the original LIP technique is, and how to make your own deprogrammer and the decision tree for full mouth reconstruction!
How to deal with a gummy smile? When to use veneer and when to crown? Shoulder vs shoulderless? What is mock-up preparation? What are the protocols for the preparation and cementation of crowns and veneers? How to perform advanced dental photography? Nobody will leave the course without knowing the answers to these questions!

Day 1
October 31st
9:00AM - 5:30PM
-
Occlusal Philosophies - In Search of a Common Denominator
The approach to occlusal philosophies has evolved, focusing on tooth guidance's impact on bruxism and TMD, improper occlusion's role in TMD, and controversies around centric relation. Studies by Lassmann et al. explore condylar guidance, articulator limitations, and occlusal design challenges. -
Understanding Orofacial Pain & TMJ
What is pain, and how can dentists diagnose orofacial pain? Differentiating disc pathology, muscle vs. articular locks, and interpreting synovial pain maps and radiological images are essential for accurate assessment. -
SDS concept in multidisciplinary treatment
Simplifying VDO determination through Smile Design, planning severe attrition and gummy smiles, prosthodontist-orthodontist collaboration, orthodontic pretreatment for Class 3 cases, and adhering to guidelines and ethical standards. -
Vertical Occlusal Dimension mythology and severe attrition treatment.
Vertical dimension limits, precision concerns, bite registration in severe wear, ferule effect, damaged tooth biomechanics, crown-root post selection, and the rationale for shoulderless preparation.
Day 2
November 1st
9:00AM - 5:00PM
-
Holistic approach - what should we know to avoid troubles
Recognizing tooth destruction causes, cervical vertebrae, tongue, posture, sleep apnea's impact on bite disorders, OSA diagnosis, VOD effects, adaptation recognition, and treatment in aesthetic and functional reconstructions. -
How to get a perfect bite for our patient?
Equilibration involves adjusting teeth for proper alignment. It's used in MIP or CR, but not always allowed. Tools include T-scan, OccluSense, and techniques vary for static, chewing, and implants. -
Algorithms and decision tree for full mouth reconstruction
Avoid altering the existing bite when it's stable and functional. Choose tools that ensure accurate bite registration. Follow a step-by-step approach through all appointments, guided by the Full Mouth Reconstruction (FMR) algorithm.
Day 3 - Workshop
November 2nd
9:00AM - 5:00PM
-
Bite registration - Make it easy
Understanding five different condyle positions raises the question: Is centric relation essential? Guidelines and ethics provide insights. Learn about the leaf gauge—what it is, when to use it, and practical demonstrations. - TMJ joint examination and Leaf gauge workshop
-
Kois Deprogrammer, Lucia Jig, Dawson manipulaiton and splints - When? Why? How?
Is deprogramming essential for achieving centric relation or merely pseudoscience? Learn about the Kois deprogrammer, LIP Technique, Dawson’s manipulation, nightguards, splints, and how to ensure accurate registration and optimal appliance contact and guidance. - Kois deprogrammer and Dawson manipulation workshop
