Dr. Kraemer’s and Prof. Sato’s Occlusion Program is your best option to learn excellence in both functional and esthetic dentistry.
This Program will teach you Modern Occlusion Concepts and Comprehensive Interdisciplinary Dentistry. It covers everything from Occlusion, Function, TMD, Diagnosis, Treatment Planning, and Initial therapy, including an understanding for stable Orthodontics. It will be an eye-opening experience about the complexity of the masticatory organ and the responsibility which it imposes on dentists and orthodontists.
The terms Cranio-mandibular Dentistry and Occlusion Medicine describe the extend of impact our profession has on teeth and the masticatory organ. Teeth dictate mandibular position and mandibular position plays the key role for dental health and successful treatment.
If you are looking for stable dentistry and orthdontics, for treatment of dysfunctional patients, if you desire to treat complex cases, if you want to improve your diagnostic and treatment planning skills, increase your case acceptance, if you are tired of single tooth dentistry or observing the breakdown or relapse of your own cases, you should join us.
In this program you will learn the relevant steps to make every case predictable and easy to treat. You will understand the underlying problems and you will be able to develop the correct treatment plan, “the red line to success”. Become a specialist of the masticatory organ and the problem solver in your area.
Occlusion of the 21st Century. With this program you find an advanced, evidenced-based concept for predictable and stable dentistry

Frustration of your own Failures? - Why relapse in Orthodontics? – why life-long retainers?
Orthodontics: avoiding orthognathic surgery for severe skeletal classes and open bites
Orthodontics: avoiding premolar extractions, removable-appliances, extra-oral forces
Orthodontics: stable with only 3 month of retention – why no relapse?
Orthodontic treatment for Esthetic Problems: is it just a local dental problem? - Your large patient pool: the 6-year molar – children: concept of overlay treatment to direct growth and development – avoiding removable appliances

The edentulous patient, partial edentulous, implant patient
How to transition the complex patient into the stable final step?
Severe wear case – underlying cause and treatment - The Airway
Sleep Apnea Patient – key points for treatment
Sleep Apnea Patient – avoiding removable appliances, surgery or aggressive prosthetics? - Symptomatic patient: Headaches, Migraine, Vertigo, Physical symptoms – Occlusal impact?
The TMD patient – alternatives to lifelong splints?

Signs and Symptoms of Occlusal Disease

You do not know what you do not know. And what you think you know about occlusion is probably wrong or insufficient. Heike’s continuum made the above statements very clear. An invaluable course for everyone with a dental license.

This course made me a much better dentist and human being. I can’t practice the way I practiced before.

Dr. Sato teaches the occlusion and function oriented orthodontics in relation to the craniomandibular system. A very accurate diagnosis, based on condylograph, cephalometrics and all these information transferred to articulator mounted casts is included in this course. Once you step into it, I’m sure it will help you to set the standard of dental service we provide to the highest possible level!
