LECTURE-ON-DEMAND
Presenter:
Dr. Michael Wise
(bio)
Lecture Length:
90 minutes plus interactive Question and answer period
Topic:
Occlusion and Titanium
Content:
This presentation will cover three main areas:
Literature review:Will consider occlusal loads and implants, posterior disclusion, horizontal and vertical components of the slide from centric relation to the intercuspal position, perception of occlusal loads, movement of teeth and implants, flexibility of the mandible, porcelain or acrylic on the occlusal surface.
Passivity of fit -
- The need for passiviity
- influence of the accuracy of the master cast,
- framework distortion resulting from porcelain firing shrinkage.
Occlusal principles :Will include detection of occlusal contacts, anterior guidance, posterior occlusal schemes and contacts, the prescription, clinical techniques.
Case presentations:To illustrate the above and to demonstrate the use of laser welding to achieve framework passivity and occlusal accuracy when providing metal ceramic full arch restorations.
Learning Objectives:
Following are some topics that will be included in Prof. Bichacho's program for in depth discussion:
-
To obtain a critical review of the literature relating occlusion to implants
-
To understand the role of frame passivity in complex cases
-
To understand the effect of porcelain shrinkage
-
To understand the effect of tooth movement on implant occlusion
-
To present a protocol for occlusal management when implants are used
-
To understand a protocol for the fabrication of metal ceramic full arch fixed bridges supported by implants
