This continuum is addressed to all dental professionals who wish to upgrade their practice in comprehensive and interdisciplinary dentistry. This program allows clinicians to achieve predictable dentistry and to do more complex cases. In order to obtain long-term treatment success in all disciplines of dentistry, complete diagnostic information about the patient’s masticatory system and functional state is essential. This course teaches the paradigm shift from single tooth treatment approach to comprehensive, evidence based diagnostics and interdisciplinary therapy.
- Meaning of function and occlusion and their relevance for the daily practice
- Relationship of findings and symptoms and their underlying etiology
- Standardized diagnostics for comprehensive interdisciplinary treatment plans
- Determine the extent of treatment for each patient – safe vs. risk patient
- Understand static and dynamic occlusion and how it is related to the functions
- Learn to find a stable and reproducible reference position
- Wax up concept to determine cusp position for function – free of interferences
- Initial therapy – pretreatment of dysfunctional patients
- Achieve patient-individual function, phonetics and esthetics
- Avoid chipping in your restorations – functions without inferences
- Become safe in treating complex cases and dysfunctional patients
- Avoid life-long orthodontic retention or splints to protect restorative treatment
- Become safe in managing complex cases
- Increase your case acceptance and patient satisfaction
- Intense hands-on training
- Training directly from world leading instructors
- Small group size with a maximum of 16 participants, one-on-one mentoring
- All honoraria are paid by IDEA: no corporate influence or manufacturer representatives on campus
- State-of-the-art, simulation laboratory including a surgical microscope at each work station
- Networking with like-minded professionals from around the world
- Bring your own cases. Discuss techniques and issues relevant to your practice
- Hotel accommodations, beginning the night prior to the course and ending the morning after the course
- Local transportation between the San Francisco International Airport (SFO), IDEA’s partner hotel and the IDEA facility

Professors Sato and Kraemer set up an ortho mini residency that participants are able to really go over their own cases and freely ask questions. There were also just enough pertinent lectures to help with our patient treatment.
-
The word incredible is highly and poorly overused. But this course is beyond incredible in terms of raising awareness, clinical excellence, and facilitating a greater understanding of orthodontics.
-
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!
-
Always inspiring! I love that Professor Sato teaches us the theory but then also helps us see the theory put to practice.
-
Professor Sato, Heike Kraemer, and Roberto were great in teaching this course. Very informative and educational. Their curriculum really enables me to successfully continue my dental education and treat my patients.
-
I truly appreciate the tremendous effort, energy and content of the course. This is definitely a life changing course.
-
I truly appreciate the extent of life altering information that we are exposed to in this course. My knowledge has been shaken to the core and as a result, I know I can help my patients tremendously! Thank you.
-
The level of knowledge and expertise that our professors have are probably the best in the world. The best part is what we learn is very useful to everyday practice and will probably benefit all my patients.
-
Learning the occlusion concept is crucial to our daily practice. Taking this orthodontic course is essential to reach our occlusion goals. Heike is a great teacher helping me in this new path.
-
I feel so fortunate to have three fantastic mentors in Professor Sato, Heike Kraemer, and Roberto Velasquez. They were instrumental in changing my patient experience and treatment results. Thank you for providing answers to 20 years of questions.
