Restoring the Severely-Worn Dentition by Dr. John Cranham & Dr. Pete Dawson

The aging baby boomer population presents many unique challenges. Unlike their parents, they expect to keep their teeth in health and function for their entire life. They also are living longer in a world with increased stresses, making occlusal wear and occlusal disease one of the greatest threats to their dentition. Being able to design comprehensive treatment plans that address occlusal, esthetic, and biological concerns, along with the correct material selection, will be essential to the successful restorative practice.

Program Highlights:

1. A step-by-step programmed approach to optimum treatment planning.
2. How to choose an incisal edge position that will satisfy the esthetic AND functional parameters.
3. How and when to safely open the vertical dimension of occlusion.
4. How to precisely contour provisional restorations to test and refine the esthetic and functional goals.
5. How to communicate with the dental laboratory to eliminate all guesswork in large case dentistry.
6. How to choose the correct restorative materials to solve functional and esthetic problems.
