Programma
A two-day seminar with Professor Gregor Slavicek — a deep immersion into advanced splint therapy protocols, from fundamental principles to complex clinical skills.
During the course you will learn how to:
— Select the appropriate type of splint for a specific clinical situation
— Follow clinical protocols for splint fabrication
— Determine the appropriate splint wearing regimen for each patient
— Apply clinical protocols for splint adjustment
— Use splint design protocols for managing disc dislocation with reduction and without reduction (DDwR / DDwoR)
— Monitor patients undergoing splint therapy.
The training will also be valuable for clinicians who do not practice strictly within the Slavicek concept. You will receive splint therapy protocols that can be applied by functional dentists regardless of their clinical approach.
By the end of the course, you will develop a clear and structured approach to splint therapy.
IMPORTANT: the “Seminar. Comfort”, “Seminar. VIP” and “Hands-on workshop” participation options are also available for purchase.
Advantages of the “Seminar. Standard” participation option:
– Participation in the scientific program
– Coffee break
– Notes and handouts
– Certificate of participation
– ADA credits available upon request.
