Lesson 6: Occlusion Adaptive Procedure
Adapt tooth conserving dentistry techniques to your patients' needs. Maximal occlusional force varies greatly between patients - anywhere from 55 lbs to 975 lbs of pressure! High occlusional force necessitates adaptation; onlays for high-occlusional-force patients can be shaped to verticalize forces and keep onlays and adhesive from cracking under the strain.
The final lesson, Occlusion Adaptive Procedure, covers the following:
- Unterbrink's technique for occlusion checking
- Adaptations for high-occlusional-force patients
- The basic twelve-step protocol of tooth conserving dentistry
