2 Day Clinical Occlusion and the Management of Tooth Wear in General Dental Practice
A 2-day course for dentists on clinical occlusion and planning/managing tooth wear cases, from diagnosis through to restorative intervention strategies.
Master clinical occlusion—and manage tooth wear with confidence in everyday practice
Tooth wear cases are increasingly common and often complex: when to monitor, when to intervene, how to plan predictably, and how to deliver restorations that respect occlusal stability. This 2-day course is designed to give you the practical occlusion knowledge and clinical decision-making framework to diagnose, treatment plan and manage localised and generalised tooth wear in general practice.
Led by Dr Mahul Patel (BDS (Lond), MJDF RCS (Eng), MSc RDP (Lond), MSc ConsDent (Lond), MPros RCS (Ed)), the programme focuses on clinical and applied occlusion—with techniques you can use to support contingency planning and to help you treat suitable cases in-practice.
What you’ll be able to do after the course
You’ll leave with clearer, more structured approaches to assessing and managing wear, including:
Assessing and diagnosing pathological tooth wear
Deciding active restorative intervention vs passive management (prevention and monitoring)
Treatment planning wear cases using established principles of aesthetics and occlusal stability to support predictable outcomes
Applying practical occlusion considerations for worn dentitions, including facebow and inter-occlusal records
