Texas Brief PM
Occlusion Made Easy
JACK I. SHIRLEY, D.D.S.
OVERVIEW
A walk down occlusion lane is not a walk that we often want to take, but Dr. Shirley advocates, “Give it another chance; it might change your whole practice and the way you practice dentistry”.
This course on occlusion has received rave reviews from dentists around the country. One dentist’s comment was, “This is the first time I have ever understood occlusion, and I have been a dentist for 28 years.” Another dentist said, “Finally, someone is giving me something I can use in my practice.” This is just the beginning. Come join us and see why you are actually going to start enjoying occlusion and are going to be excited about what it will do for your practice.

OBJECTIVES
Topics to be discussed:
• CR vs. CO.
• What is adequate anterior guidance?
• The significance of incline interferences.
• Should we be concerned with condylar guidance?
• How to recognize occlusal disease and what to do about it.
• How to equilibrate and who to equilibrate.
• Splint construction and adjustment.
• Verbal skills that will help you with patient education.
