Overview
Today’s restorative patients increasingly present with complex functional challenges, including parafunction, erosion, airway-related concerns, and occlusal instability. Successfully managing these patients requires more than technical skill—it demands a systematic, risk-based approach to diagnosis, treatment planning, and execution.
This program will provide a practical, clinically focused framework for evaluating functional risk, developing predictable treatment strategies, and executing restorative care in patients with elevated functional demands. Emphasis will be placed on comprehensive records, sound treatment sequencing, and material selection strategies that support long-term clinical performance.
Through case-based learning, participants will gain insight into how functional diagnosis, thoughtful planning, and modern material protocols can be integrated into everyday practice to improve consistency, reduce complications, and enhance restorative longevity.
By attending this webinar you will learn how to:
- Recognize and assess key functional risk factors—including parafunction, erosion, airway-related concerns, and occlusal instability—that impact restorative outcomes.
- Apply a structured diagnostic and records-based workflow to evaluate functional stability and guide risk-based treatment planning.
- Develop phased, predictable treatment strategies for high-risk patients using functional dentistry principles and sound clinical sequencing.
- Integrate material selection and adhesive protocols into a comprehensive restorative approach aimed at improving long-term clinical performance.
