Orofacial Pain & TMJ
part 2
What Prosthodontist Should Know
Lukasz Lassmann
instructor
- How has the approach of occlusal philosophies changed in terms of tooth guidance and its impact on bruxism TMD (Temporomandibular Disorders)
- The impact of improper occlusion on TMD- correlation or causative relationship?
- “Complicated Relationships Between Anterior and Condylar Guidance and Their Clinical Implications” (Lassmann et al.)
- “Sagittal Condylar Guidance Angle Measurement Methods: A Systematic Review” (Lassmann et al.)
- Is the use of fully adjustable articulators and a facebow really necessary to achieve proper prosthetic reconstruction?
- Controversies regarding centric relation from the perspective of diagnosis and therapy.
- In search of a common denominator between different occlusion philosophies.
- What are the limitations of articulators, and can we truly design prosthetic reconstruction that never require adjustment in occlusion?
09:00 – 10:30
BITE REGISTRATION
Make it easy
Lukasz Lassmann & Davis Thomas

- Demonstration of working with the leaf gauge.
11:00 – 12:30
SDS concept in multidisciplinary treatment
Lukasz Lassmann & Davis Thomas
Instructors

09:00 – 10:30
Holistic approach
What Should We Know To Avoid Troubles
Lukasz Lassmann
Instructor
- Rare and idiopathic conditions in a dental office – what have we learned?
- How to recognize what caused the destruction of teeth?

- Sleep apnea and dental treatment – How to diagnose OSA with polygraph and drug induced sleep endoscopy? Is increasing VOD detrimental for apnea? Modern approach to OSA treatment in dental profession.
- Adaptation – what is it, what are its effects, how to recognize if the patient is already adapted and how to treat in cases of aesthetic and functional reconstructions.
11:00 – 12:30
Vertical Occlusal Dimension methodology and severe attrition treatment
Lukasz Lassmann
instructor
- Vertical occlusal dimension – what are the limitations? Should we be that precise?
- Bite registration in severe wear cases
- What is the ferule effect and which part of the tooth is the most important?
- Biomechanics of damaged teeth
- What type of crown-root post to choose: standard, fiberglass, or cast post?

13:30 – 15:00
Algorithms and decision tree for full mouth reconstruction
Lukasz Lassmann & Davis Thomas
instructors
- When not to change the existing bite?
- When should we choose a tool to make bite repeatable and easy to register? Which tool should we choose?
- Step by step journey throughout all the appointments and FMR algorithm
