About the Course

Course for the Entire Clinic with Dentist Andrea Poulsen

The course reviews different causes of tooth wear, including why malocclusion can lead to wear. We will cover muscular pain, bruxism, and treatment with occlusal splints. Learn, among other things, about the crocodile or cow and the dangers of mediotrusion!

This course is designed for the entire clinic team who wish to improve their diagnostic skills and take an active interest in understanding and contributing positively to workflows related to occlusal treatment, occlusal splints, and healthy occlusion in general.

Dentist Andrea Poulsen will, using study models, patient cases, and clinical videos, review the causes of impaired occlusal function, wear, and erosion, enabling you to recognise these conditions at an early stage and guide patients towards optimal prevention and treatment.

We will examine different causes of tooth wear, including why malocclusion can lead to wear. You will gain insight into muscular pain, bruxism, and treatment with occlusal splints.

In short, you will be equipped to diagnose and support your patients at a higher clinical level.
