Practical Applications in Dental Occlusion: Analog to Digital
from Dentistry Made Simple · host Dentistry Made Simple
A comprehensive guide for dentists on managing the complex relationship between the jaw and teeth. The text emphasizes shifting from a basic "tap and grind" approach toward science-based protocols that ensure stability and longevity in restorative treatments. By breaking occlusion into measurable variables and mental models, Radu helps clinicians identify when to maintain an existing bite and when to construct a new one. The source covers essential clinical tasks, including muscle palpation, joint loading tests, and digital scanning, to improve diagnostic accuracy. It also explores the evolving dentist-technician relationship, highlighting how digital workflows can significantly increase efficiency over traditional analog methods. Ultimately, the book advocates for strict procedural consistency to achieve predictable, healthy patient outcomes in both functional and esthetic dentistry.Get the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Practical-Applications-Dental-Occlusion-Digital-ebook/dp/B0D98NHV7S?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=5c553e3eb10430a3f06dee055be98ce1&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlYou can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/dentistry_made_simpleProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
