Chasolen Education

Dr. Howard Chasolen and Dr. Barry H. Glassman

Master the philosophies of occlusal reconstruction and the issues that go along with it

THIS IS A UNIQUE AND CRITICALLY NEEDED PROGRAM.

Without a doubt, one of the most popular and confusing topics in restorative dentistry is the ongoing debate regarding occlusion. Occlusion has two very distinct applications in today’s dentistry. The first application is occlusion and its relationship to restorative dentistry. The second is occlusion and its relationship to TMD, facial pain, joint dysfunction and the reported associations with headache and upper quarter pain patterns. Through case presentations and scientific literature, this one of a kind program will finally explain the difference between these two very different yet critically important scenarios.

For years, confusion and fear have led to non-scientific and dogmatic philosophies. Some philosophies overzealously discuss the “correction” of the bite as a treatment for temporomandibular related problems. Other philosophies overcautiously forbid the alteration of the occlusion for needed restorative purposes even for the patient with no joint symptoms. This confusion has led many to both over-treat and under-treat patients based on mis-information and myths passed down from previous generations misusing empirical evidence as science.

This unique 3 day program includes a full day on evaluation, diagnosis, treatment and management of the facial pain patient. The first day of the 3 day option will develop an understanding of occlusal dysthesia, internal derrangements, arthralgias, degenerative joint disease, ligament injuries, acute vs chronic pain, neuropathic pain and headache neurobiology, pharmacotherapy and injection techniques for extracapsular and intracapsular disorders.

On day 2 of the program, after a practical and relevant review TM joint and muscle anatomy and physiology, Drs. Chasolen and Glassman will present a detailed and patient centered concept starting with a history and followed by a physical examination. A careful description of function and parafunction including pathophysiology of parafunction and sleep bruxism will lead to an understanding of force vectors, patient adaptive capacity and the role of function and parafunction as forces that threaten your patients and the dentistry you do for them. The different occlusal reconstructive philosophies will be examined, compared and contrasted. Finally it will be clear why some patients with malocclusion do well – and those with better occlusions (by our current standards) may not.

On day 3 of the program, Dr. Chasolen will cover the details of occlusal reconstruction. Discussing treatment planning, the relationship of VDO, condylar position and cosmetics, restorative considerations for the envelope of function and parafunction, wax up parameters, temporization, articulators and understanding how to use an articulator for reconstruction. A discussion on appropriate materials, the causes of porcelain and tooth fracture, occlusion and implants, occlusion and the advanced periodontal patient and other special topics will be the most comprehensive day in today’s education.

While this program is a must for anyone wishing to become comfortable with advanced fixed prosthodontics, it is truly equally essential for any dentist who wants to see past occlusal mythology that does nothing to help our patients and has truly been confusing when one looks beyond the confirmation bias that occurs in our offices daily. The emphasis will be not only on occlusion for the restorative dentist but how to deal with odontogentic pain from a non odentogenic source, and so much more.
