Planning of dental restorations and bite splints under functional aspects and the implementation into the digital workflow

In a face-to-face seminar Dr. Juergen Reitz - with the support of zebris Medical GmbH - teaches the fundamentals of functional theory as well as the significance and impact on the design of occlusion. The possible applications of the JMA-Optic jaw registration system in diagnosis and therapy as well as possibilities for fixing the mandibular sensor system will be demonstrated. In a practical demonstration, the measuring module for "Functional Analysis" and "Digital Occlusion” will be shown, from matching the data with intraoral scanners, to new display and evaluation possibilities of dynamic occlusion, taking facial symmetry into account. Furthermore, the transfer of the measurement data into mechanical and virtual articulators of a CAD system is demonstrated. Furthermore the planning of therapeutic bite splints for stomatognathic rehabilitation is shown. 

The speaker, Dr Juergen Reitz, has been active for many years as a speaker at numerous congresses and as a course leader at continuing education events.Areas of Work: Diagnosis and therapy of craniomandibular dysfunctions, manual function and structural analysis, instrumental functional analysis, electromyography, imaging tech-niques, computer-assisted applications in CMD diagnostics
