I enjoyed attending this course. It is an eye-opening course for me. I love Heike's way of teaching, using cases and tools to help with thinking and understanding the occlusion concept and impact on skeletal formation and how nature helps with adaptation, when it given the opportunity. Thank you.

Cranio-mandibular Dentistry and Occlusion Medicine

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!

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.
