Aims and objectives:

Gain an understanding of occlusion in periodontal patients, taking into consideration:

• The journey of Dr. Horowitz
• Research
• Occlusal examination: anterior guidance, lateral excursions, fremitus, incisal relationship, anterior open bite, wear facets, non-working side interferences
• Controlling the forces, occlusal adjustment, splint therapy, equilibration
• Periodontal disease: inflammation, recession
• Fremitus: natural excursions, heavy contact, movement
• Guided tissue regeneration: bone graft, papilla preservation, splinting
• Genetics: periodontitis, risk factors
• Splints: composite, wire
