SERIES 7

Aesthetic and Functional Smile Design

Hands-On, Over-the-Shoulder Live Patient Treatment Course

This 23 credit course is a 3 day diagnostic and treatment planning, hands-on, live patient treatment course. This course will give you the knowledge, skills, and confidence to do ideal dentistry in your practice. You will have an opportunity to watch multi-unit aesthetic dentistry done on a live patient. You will learn how to perform your case evaluation using Myotronic’s diagnostic equipment, and how to treatment plan and execute the case.

Management of a neuromuscular orthotic and techniques to ensure aesthetic as well as functionally optimum occlusion will be taught and demonstrated on a live patient. This course provides a great opportunity to receive hands-on training in smile design, adhesive dentistry, and occlusion, at the highest level, at a fraction of the cost of comparable courses. It is highly recommended that you bring your team to support and implement the techniques learned in this course.

The instructors, Dr. Raman, Dr. Kherani, and Dr. Miyasaki are leading Neuromuscular clinicians with extensive experience and expertise in TMD / occlusion and aesthetics. To maximize the hands-on learning experience, attendance is limited to 11 attendees.
