Rapid Dentures: Predictable, Efficient, Profitable

From Simple Occlusal Adjustments to Treating Occlusal Neurotics
by Dr. Barry Glassman
We have all dealt with a postrestorative complaint and corrected it by adjusting a “high spot” that was inadvertently created during the procedure. Almost without fail, a single adjustment resolves the complaint. We’ve also all dealt with patients who were hyperaware of their occlusion. This course is geared for the general dentist who wants to improve daily occlusal adjustments in restorative therapy and learn how to deal with more complex occlusal issues.
