Reference Position Centric Relation (CR), Centric Occlusion (CO), Neuro-Muscular RP
6 lessons
Duration: 5 h 48 min
Reference position – a key step to successful dental treatment!
Join renowned specialists Nazzareno Bassetti, Jean-Daniel Orthlieb, Giorgio De' Luca, and Michael Miyasaki, and learn the full protocols to determine the reference position for your occlusal rehabilitation and orthodontic cases.
During the course, you will learn about:
– Reference position (RP) registration rules and working with occlusal planes
– Protocols for determining centric relation (CR), centric occlusion (CO), and neuro-muscular therapeutic reference position (RP)
– Protocols for designing occlusal splints to obtain a neuro-muscular reference position (RP).
