Diagnosis and treatment planning dental course

I've been to a few courses on occlusion and left with my mind more muddled than when I started the course. Having taken this part of the Continuum with Professor Sato and Dr. Kramer has certainly helped me demystify some of the most challenging aspects of occlusion. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel

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.
