Description
This is a course on condylography in the concept of Rudolf Slavicek!
You will learn how to:
– prepare a patient for the mandible movement recording
– determine the hinge axis and the reference position of the patient
– make a decision if the exact splint position works
– follow the standard protocols for mandible movements recording
– identify errors and artifacts during the recording
– describe the data received from the condylography.
The course is for prosthodontists, orthodontists and functional dentists.
