Anterior and Posterior Determinants – Essentials 3 (E3)

You’ve learned about occlusion and bite splints. Now it is time to put it all together so you can make it work for your patients. This course helps you refine the principals of anterior guidance and its effect on aesthetics. You’ll learn the importance of exquisite provisionalization as a tool for both you and your lab technician. You’ll learn how to organize the posterior teeth so that they are both beautiful and functional in even difficult occlusions with predictable results.
