ABOUT THIS DENTAL EDUCATION COURSE
Examination and Records is a foundational course for the Dawson Academy Core Curriculum. From this hands-on post graduate dental course, you will walk away with an understanding of why a comprehensive examination is essential to the treatment planning process. As Dr. Dawson says “every great treatment plan comes from a well organized records appointment”.
You will learn how to take excellent clinical photographs, facebow record, the easiest, simplest and most predictable way to take a Centric Relation bite record and a comprehensive examination process including muscle examination and TMJ analysis.
We will discuss which patients are straight forward to treat and which require occlusal therapy before definitive treatment is performed.
