Introduction          

There are few restorative procedures that do not involve occlusal surfaces. A variety of symptoms can be related to occlusal factors, so a good understanding of how occlusal analysis relates to diagnosis, treatment planning and management procedures is therefore important for any practitioner.

Unfortunately the subject is often regarded as complex and mysterious, and consequently does not always receive the attention it merits. This course is designed to present occlusal analysis in a straightforward way, offering a methodical approach that may be applied to common clinical situations. The combination of 3D graphics, interactive cases, videos and quiz provides a unique resource.

The course is divided into 5 modules, providing up to 30 hours of verifiable CPD. Purchase Module 1 and access all the content on the CD and receive certification for 6 hours of CPD. If you require certification for subsequent modules simply forward the report generated by the program, pay the respective fee and a certificate will be issued. Purchase all the modules at once and receive a 25% discount.

“Complete course in occlusion - sit back - watch and learn!”

"As usual a VERY PROFESSIONAL program in all aspects ...all excellent and the whole subject logically and easily explained even though it's a bit like taking up Russian! I found it practical and picked up several tips for my everyday work in the surgery.”

“Firstly I enjoyed your occlusion CD, it is one of my most disliked subjects, but this is why a mixed CPD portfolio is so important, we can all revised the bits of our subject we like and are good at, and that is not what it is all about.”

“I am a great believer in blended learning. The Dental Channel products are excellent.”

“Just to say it's nice to have a topic which I always found so drastically boring brought to life in an easy to follow vibrant fashion. You are to be congratulated!”

“Easy to enter and leave the course and to do it in bite-sized chunks!”

“Congratulations on making a very "dry" subject attractive and interesting.”

“Enjoyed the CD immensely”
