Abstract: 

Occlusion plays a crucial role in achieving long-term success of dental treatments. One of the major clinical challenges is to understand and apply occlusal concepts depending on the planned prosthesis and various functional and esthetic elements. This lecture will present fundamental occlusal concepts in removable, fixed and implant restorations. The lecture will also address the diagnostic analysis, the decision-making process, treatment planning and prosthodontic treatment of the fixed prosthodontic rehabilitation. Finally, useful clinical tips will be shared to overcome common clinical challenges related to occlusion.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:

1. Understand foundational occlusal concepts applied in removable, fixed and implant restorations
2. Learn the clinical guidelines of optimal occlusion and its applications in clinical situations
3. Understand how to perform occlusal adjustments (ex. occlusal appliance)
