Recently Kevin Coursey, Russellville Dental Lab partner and ceramist, had the oppurtunity to attend the Dawson Center for the Advancement of Dentistry in St. Petersberg, FL for an in depth course on Occlusion and Function. The course spanned two and a half days at the Dawson Center's facility.
The course, taught by Vernon H. "Buddy" Shafer, Jr., C.D.T., included lecture, dicussion of masticatory system, the tempromandibular joint, centric relation, the neutral zone, anterior guidance, envelope of function and requiremnts for occlusal stability.
The goal of the course is to level the field between technician and dentist so that both can work towards the best possible outcome for the patient. Kevin was very impressed with the course and feels he brought alot away from it.
