ULTIMATE OCCLUSION AND
COMPREHENSIVE DENTISTRY:
A UNIQUE LECTURE AND HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE

Presented By:

Dr. Gary Alex, DMD & Adrian Jurim, CDT

The successful integration of prosthetics, cosmetics, interdisciplinary dentistry, and occlusion, is a powerful combination that can elevate your practice to new levels of care and service. This program will tackle fundamental occlusal principles and find answers to many of the questions you’ve been asking. What exactly is the difference between centric relation (CR), centric occlusion (CO), and maximum intercuspation (MIP)? How do you find and record centric relation? When is it acceptable to use MIP as opposed to CR? How important is anterior guidance? Where do you start in full mouth rehabilitation? What about other occlusal philosophies? What’s this “envelope of function” stuff all about? How come face-bows are so important? This program will provide a rational and methodology for tackling difficult restorative, prosthetic, and cosmetic cases. The program consists of a five hour lecture followed by an intensive full day hands-on program the next day.

  • Envisioning the big picture (total dentistry for total success)
  • Cosmetics and occlusion (it looks great, but will it last?)
  • The comprehensive exam (the place to start)
  • Anatomy and diagnosis of the TMJ (occlusion begins here)
  • Introduction to occlusal science (force be with you?)
  • Facebow transfers (why and how)
  • Centric relation bite records (different techniques!)
  • When to equilibrate (and when not to!)
  • Esthetics and function (why you must have both!)
  • How to approach a full mouth reconstruction
  • NTI's - rational and fabrication

This program was one of the highest rated and best-attended programs at the recent 2005 Chicago Midwinter meeting as well as the AACD 2002 and 2004 national meetings. It was taught at both PAC live and Esthetic Advantage Masters programs in occlusion and comprehensive dentistry where Dr. Alex was program director. Dr. Alex has been described as one of the best teachers in dentistry today. The hands-on part of the program is limited to ten dentists.

Dates offered 2007:

January 25th (lecture) 4-9PM at Jurim Dental Studios in Great Neck. Friday January 26th (hands-on) 8AM-4PM at the office of Dr. Alex in Huntington.
