This course deals elaborately on Occlusion, Temporomandibular Dysfunction and Full mouth Rehabilitation. The name comes from Dr.Vasanth’s realisation of how the four fundamental aspects of dentistry namely
1. The temporomandibular joints
2. Occlusion
3. Routine dentistry and
4. Orthodontics are inseparably united. Mastering these four will elevate one from a dentist to a stomatognathic specialist.
The course will teach you Full mouth rehabilitation in a unique way, as no other course. You will realise the real meaning of rehabilitation and how it is not just about waxing up and delivering a mouth full of crowns, but also about equilibration and orthodontics. You will learn to diagnose and manage TMD, and know all about splints. You will learn occlusion very thoroughly, and understand how treatment planning for FMR and TMD are almost the same. You will learn how to add Centric Relation concept to orthodontics. Plus you will get much more in the form of tips and suggestions as Dr.Vasanth has shared the essence of his 40 years of clinical practice and 20 years of occlusion practice. This course will change your whole perception of Dentistry and change it into a passion.

are you finding it difficult to fix bridge on tilted teeth?
are you confused between resin cements & regular cements?
are you finding it difficult to match shade of restoration & teeth
do you want to give veneers to patients & make maximum moetary gains?

Cast Partial Dentures: Day 2:
This learning experience should arm you with theoretical, technical and practical applications/knowledge to fabricate a fully functional CPD, with its indications.
The course will cover: Lectures
Basic principles of Cast Partials,
Surveying,
General design principals,
Mouth preparation,
Alternate cast technique,
Border molding & final impression for Cast partials,
Ideal designs for all types of partially edentulous situations.
Hybrid Partial Dentures
Flexibles: where, when and how!!
Demonstrations and Hands On : Models
Designing on Patient casts, Mouth preparations, and Putty/light body impressions on Models. The design philosophy recommended is one that combines broad stress distribution, minimal tooth and tissue coverage by the frame work and retentive elements that release during functional movement of the prosthesis.
A Three day course on the principles of Biomimetics, will equip the dental professionalsto choose and place effective, long lasting posterior restorations for replacing lost tooth structure via directSemi Direct Composites, Indirect Ceramic Restorations (inlays, onlays, overlays, veneerlays and crowns), combining interactive Lectures, demonstrations and hands-on sessions in clinical skills

Full mouth rehabilitation typically involves restoring the dentition and correlation with the functional movements to achieve proper function of stomatognathic system
This two days hands-on course is designed to be a practical application of occlusion philosophies for everyday dentistry and full mouth rehabilitation cases. This program is designed to enable dentists to incorporate occlusion principles in their single tooth, quadrant and more complex and implant dentistry cases. It will enable you to start using facebows and semi adjustable articulators in your day to day practice.
