NEW! Anterior Bite Plane Appliances: Using them for diagnosis and treatment
Often our patients present with symptomatic joints or muscles needing a treatment to help them become pain free and restore them to full function. Other patients are not symptomatic, but have signs of occlusal disease that we need to resolve before we proceed with restorative care. Both of these clinical scenarios can be the ideal time to utilize an anterior bite plane appliance.
In this webinar we will discuss the science behind how anterior bite planes work, when they are your best choice clinically, and quick and easy fabrication techniques.

Arbitrary Mounting
Many laboratories see the advantages or receive requests to mount cases to large frame articulators without Facebow and Bite Registration Information. Although having all of the information is ideal; the use of a large frame articulator without the preferred information has advantages over a disposable.
In this webinar we will review the procedure for arbitrarily mounting a case to a large frame articulator using standard settings with mounting platform and non-mounting platform technique.

How to Take a Cross Ref
This one hour webinar will acquaint dental professionals on how to accurately record the patient’s midline and horizontal plane with the new Esthetic CrossRef™ Centered Bite Record. Use the CrossRef in conjunction with a facebow to give a second verified bite record, or use separately to document this critical esthetic communication between the dentist and the lab.
The CrossRef allows the bite registration material to set first, and then the horizontal adjustment can be made. Once sent to the lab, the bite record mounts arbitrarily on any articulator. Join Juan Olivier and learn the benefits of using the Esthetic CrossRef.
Topics will include:
- Value of documenting patient’s midline and horizontal plane
- Steps to quickly and easily document this information
- Hints on safely shipping records to the lab
- Ways the lab can utilize the patient’s information
- Patient results
