OHI-S Spherical Occlusion Theory for Dentists and Dental Technician Team

4 lessons (5h 39min)
Individualized spherical occlusal surface calculation in clinical practice — A state-of-the-art application for managing complex occlusal rehabilitation!
Take a fresh look at the relationship between occlusion and TMJ problems, based on biomechanical evidence and individual patient aspects according to the individualized spherical occlusal surface calculation.
During the course, you will learn about:
– Data collection and processing of occlusion
– Quantitative 3D assessment of TMJ function according to the spherical occlusal surface calculation
– Digital approach to occlusal analysis according to the spherical occlusal surface calculation
– Protocols for the application of individualized spherical occlusal surface calculation for dentists and dental technicians.
The OHI‑S Spherical Occlusion Theory for Dentists and Dental Technician Team course is best for prosthodontists, restorative dentists, orthodontists, and dental technicians who want structured, CE‑accredited training in the application of spherical occlusion principles to functional rehabilitation and restorative design. It emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration between clinicians and technicians to achieve predictable occlusal harmony and long‑term stability.
Who Should Enroll

Prosthodontists managing complex occlusal rehabilitation and full‑mouth reconstructions.
Restorative dentists & general practitioners treating patients with occlusal dysfunction, wear, or temporomandibular disorders (TMD).
Orthodontists integrating occlusal theory into treatment planning for functional stability.
Dental technicians & lab professionals fabricating restorations that respect spherical occlusion principles.
Residents, fellows, and trainees in prosthodontics, restorative dentistry, or orthodontics seeking structured occlusion training.

What You’ll Learn

Spherical occlusion theory: understanding mandibular movements and occlusal pathways in a three‑dimensional framework.
Laboratory protocols: wax‑ups, articulator use, and digital workflows aligned with spherical occlusion.
Functional rehabilitation: restoring occlusion in patients with wear, parafunction, or complex cases.
Interdisciplinary collaboration: dentist–technician teamwork for predictable functional and aesthetic outcomes.
Case‑based lessons: clinical examples showing how spherical occlusion guides restorative design.
