When it comes to continuing higher education courses, the Los Angeles Institute of Clinical Dentistry & Ruiz Dental Seminars Inc. offers a variety of workshops to help you make the most of your dental practice over the years. Last month we talked about the Applied Occlusion & Diagnosis Workshop – Level 1 course, so this month we want to complete this series by highlighting the Level 2 workshop.
Occlusal Disease Management System Level 2
When a patient is undergoing extensive mouth rehabilitation, it’s essential to get an accurate diagnosis using highly reliable information, records, to design the best treatment with a comprehensive and methodical approach. At this workshop led by practicing dentist, researcher and author, Dr. Jose-Luis Ruiz, you will learn a technique that is evidence-based and simple to perform when diagnosing complex cases. This approach is built on what you already know about smile design, incorporating both the DFED system as well as the Occlusal Disease Management System.
When you are taking this course, you will have the opportunity to work on 2 simulated full mouth rehabilitation cases beginning with an accurate diagnosis to temporization, to final restorations as well as occlusal adjustment. In addition, one of your cases will be severe and involve VDO loss and its resolution.
Treating Worn Dentition
You will learn a variety of valuable information about treating worn-dentition in your patients with the following:
-How to perform a full mouth rehabilitation diagnosis.
-Make the most of your full rehabilitation cases using a minimally invasive approach.
-Work on 2 simulated rehabilitations (opening VDO and one without).
-Work on various diagnoses and stage a case over time.
-Make a wax-up (preparing and temporizing).
-Communicate with your dental lab to give them what they need.
-Take bite records at different stages of treatment.
-Perform a final adjustment and following up for best treatment results.

This 2-day workshop will take place in May 2021, at the Los Angeles Institute of Clinical Dentistry, but is also available LIVE online.
