Advanced Occlusion & Case Planning Workshop April 2020

This event is closed. If you have any questions, please contact the event planner directly.

Summary

Dr. Michael Melkers would like to invite you to join him in his own office for a very limited attendance workshop on advanced occlusion & case planning.

The goal of this workshop is to move beyond the didactic discussions of the challenges, techniques and intricacies of restorative and rehabilitative care and put the skills into your head and into your hands.

The workshop will be heavily focused on hands-on experience of working on cases that will allow you to take your knowledge home and put it to use immediately.

-Case Planning & Process Staging
-Rapid prototyping case workups
-Equilibration and working with challenged occlusions
-Efficient waxing techniques that you will be able to put to use-even if you have not touched a waxer since dental school
-Hi-tech & low-tech diagnostic protocols
..and more to come!

Attendes are encouraged to bring cases from their own practices to discuss & plan.

The tuition for the workshop is $3950. To maximize the learning environment and experience, the workshop will be limited to 6 attendees.

**Attendees will receive a Denar 320 articulator and Dr. Melkers' Occlusion DVD with the course tuition.
