Topic:  Occlusions, Delusions, Confusions: A Student’s Struggle With The Masters

Speakers Biography

Dr. John J. Dzakovich graduated from Loyola University School of Dentistry in 1979. He is a Master in the Academy of General Dentistry. He is a member of S.T.A.T. Study club, the Chicago Dental Society, the Illinois State Dental Society, and the American Dental

Course Summary

This two day course will discuss many important areas. Since the 1600’s, our profession has been struggling with conceptions about dental occlusion. Given the numerous hypotheses for the student of occlusion, this may result in a perplexing journey to master and utilize the current principles of the science. This course draws on the wisdom of occlusal principles gleaned from the authorities and gnathological principles of the last half century. It will assist the student in clarification of his/ her own treatment philosophy, and provide concrete solutions to the recognition, diagnosis, and management of occlusal disorder

Course Objectives

This course will focus on exploring the following topics:

1. How to recognize occlusal disease, crown disease & restorative disease.

2. How do these relate to periodontal disease?

3. Optimizing one’s powers of occlusal awareness.

4. Removing the insecurity of decision making around occlusion & restorative dentistry.

5. Clinical management of occlusal disorders.

6. Treating Class I, II, & III patients.

7. Equilibration of patient’s diagnostic casts & dentition.

Centric Relation, Centric Occlusion, myocentric, adapted centric, MI, Centric D’Jour, articulation devices, occlusal orthotics, accurate 3-D impressions, mounting casts, predictable centric relation records, and occlusal analysis (teeth in space) will be discussed.

3. What defines the perfect canal that will lead to high success rates?
