BIDST Accredited CPD Lecture

“Occlusion and Articulation”

Tony Beale

Tony's lecture, held on 11th February 2010 in Leyland was very well attended and received excellent feedback.

The presentation focused on the Kois Dento-facial Analyzer :
" Developed in the USA by Dr.John Kois, the Dento-Facial analyzer is probably the simplest type of dental facebow now available to dentists and technicians, and I will discuss just how it works (with a demonstration).

It enables the correct horizontal(occlusal) plane and the correct vertical(Saggital) planes to be easily determined. I will show how it can be utilised in aesthetic dentistry where "Smile design" principles need to be followed, and how it can also be used for denture prostheses, in conjunction with diagnostic waxing guides.

The presentation rated highly for being interesting, new, informative and valuable.
