Description:
Practical Contemporary Occlusal Concepts outlines an evidenced-based practical approach to the understanding and implementation of occlusal therapy in everyday practice. Whether a dental generalist, dental specialist (prosthodontist, orthodontist, periodontist, endodontist, oral surgeon, orofacial pain practitioner), or dental technician, Practical Contemporary Occlusal Concepts sooner or later will apply clinically to as dental teams facilitate stomatognathic stability. An understanding of “the basic rules” will enhance all aspects of dental practice for the benefit of all stakeholders.
