The Art & Science of Equilibration

Course Description

This 2¹/₂ day, hands-on program is limited to 20 dentists who will learn how to implement a process of occlusal therapy within their dental practice. The participants will be shown the importance of the trial equilibration and given the opportunity to adjust several different case types.
