Marathon of Dental Anatomy: Posteriors

Learning objectives: Morphology, anatomy of the molars occlusion – occlusal surface function and gnathology.

Course outline: During the course, we will not only monitor how the molars look but why they are so. We will understand the 2 and 3 point’s occlusion; we will get to know the occlusal compass and its importance.

Helping with this knowledge we will get a complex picture of the context between shape and function. In the practical part, the occlusal surface of the lower and upper molars (4; 5; 6) is patterned from plasticine.

The benefit of these 3 days will be not only nicer molars but better function. We will be able to grind the occlusal surface of the restorations faster and more effectively in accordance with the criteria of function and gnathology.

Acquisition of this knowledge can be helped by the processes of the removable and the orthodontics.
