Understanding Occlusion for Predictable Success

This course is presented in partnership with Utah Valley Dental Lab by Dr. David Hornbrook and Dr. Mark Montgomery. It's designed to equip you with the fundamental knowledge and practical skills needed to achieve predictable, long-lasting results in your dental practice. Understanding occlusion isn't just about preventing failures; it's about building a foundation for comprehensive patient care and maximizing esthetic outcomes.

We delve deep into the mechanics of the masticatory system, exploring how proper occlusal schemes contribute to patient comfort, function, and the longevity of your restorations. This isn't just theory; it's real-world application for real-world dentistry.
