What you will learn?

Complete Course in Full-Mouth Rehabilitation & Temporomandibular Disorders Management (FMR & TMD)

This masterclass will completely transform the way you approach complex cases of oral rehabilitation, orofacial pain, and occlusion. By the end of the 3 days, you will master three essential elements that make the difference in achieving predictable results, clinical safety, and confidence in your therapeutic decisions:

Differential Diagnosis, Orofacial Pain & TMJ Analysis

You will learn how to correctly identify the source of pain, how to distinguish between muscular and articular impairments, and how to interpret the clinical signs relevant to the TMJ. You will understand how to conduct the diagnostic interview, how to differentiate disc pathologies, and what the limitations of imaging are. A solid foundation that stands at the core of any predictable treatment plan.

Vertical Dimension of Occlusion & Planning in FMR (Full-Mouth Rehabilitation)

You will master the principles of the SDS Concept, the correct way to determine restorative space, the principles of vertical occlusion, and the modern philosophy of occlusion. You’ll learn how anterior guidance influences case stability, how to properly plan severe rehabilitations, and how to determine VDO with precision, without unnecessary controversy. All supported by clinical examples and practical algorithms.

Preparation, mock-up, cementation & complete reconstruction algorithms

You will apply modern protocols for mock-up, preparation guided by the mock-up, proper isolation, the biomechanics of compromised teeth, and predictable cementation techniques. You’ll learn how to prevent recessions and “black triangles,” manage severe wear, and finalize the occlusion without extensive adjustments. You will follow the entire FMR workflow step by step through to final cementation.

Complete Course in Full-Mouth Rehabilitation & Temporomandibular Disorders Management (FMR & TMD)

This masterclass will completely transform the way you approach complex cases of oral rehabilitation, orofacial pain, and occlusion. By the end of the four days, you will master three essential elements that make the difference in achieving predictable results, clinical safety, and confidence in your therapeutic decisions:

Differential Diagnosis, Orofacial Pain & TMJ Analysis

Vertical Dimension of Occlusion & Planning in FMR (Full-Mouth Rehabilitation)

Preparation, mock-up, cementation & complete reconstruction algorithms

Full-mouth rehabilitation completely transforms the way you diagnose, plan, and treat complex cases.

The correct protocol allows you to understand the relationship between occlusion, the TMJ, orofacial pain, and dental wear, to accurately identify the source of the problems, and to choose the appropriate therapeutic approach for each patient. A standardized strategy optimizes working time, reduces uncertainties, and significantly increases the success rate in advanced cases.

By applying current techniques, differential pain diagnosis, TMJ evaluation, accurate determination of vertical dimension, mock-up and mock-up-guided preparation, and the use of modern Full-Mouth Rehabilitation algorithms—you achieve a predictable, clear workflow that is fully adapted to each clinical case

Key advantages:

Real skills and benefits for your practice

Modern oral rehabilitation is not just about restorations; it’s about accurate diagnosis, stable occlusion, TMJ management, and a clear clinical workflow. This course helps you achieve more predictable, stable, and safe outcomes in aesthetic, functional, and pain-related cases alike.

Testimoniale

Experiența de astăzi a fost marcată de profesionalism, competență și dedicare. Mi-a plăcut în mod special combinația dintre experiența doctorului și utilizarea SmileCloud, au fost oferite detalii tehnice pe care le pot aplica direct în practica de zi cu zi. Aș reveni pentru un lector specializat în chirurgie parodontală. Singura recomandare pe care aș avea-o pentru edițiile viitoare ar fi instalarea unui sistem audio care să permită o mai bună audibilitate în sală. În rest, totul a fost impecabil. Dispozitivele puse la dispoziție mi s-au părut foarte performante, sincer, nu mă așteptam să fie atât de up-to-date. Totul a fost peste așteptări.

Pentru mine, ziua de azi a fost emoționantă, m-am simțit în locul potrivit pentru a evolua. Cel mai mult mi-a plăcut partea legată de Smile Design. Nu știam absolut nimic înainte, iar spre deosebire de alte cursuri la care am fost, aici lucrurile au fost explicate în detaliu și într-un ritm potrivit. M-aș reîntoarce la un curs susținut de un lector din zona proteticii. Dispozitivele utilizate pe parcursul cursului au fost profi și mi-au lăsat o impresie excelentă.

A fost o experiență superbă. Mi-a plăcut organizarea și informațiile acumulate, unele le citisem în cărți, dar aici am avut oportunitatea să adresez întrebări și să port discuții directe, inclusiv cu lectorul, ceea ce face o mare diferență. Schimbul de experiență cu colegii și prietenii prezenți a fost valoros. Invitatul de astăzi a fost minunat. Nu am recomandări legate de organizare, totul a fost în regulă. Dispozitivele puse la dispoziție mi s-au părut performante, iar atmosfera generală a fost una în care m-am simțit foarte bine.

Evenimentul de azi a fost eficient, sincer și plin de informații utile. Am apreciat onestitatea cu care au fost prezentate cazurile, s-a lucrat pe un caz real, de la A la Z, iar informațiile pe care le-am întâlnit anterior doar fragmentat au prins în sfârșit contur. A fost un eveniment cu sfaturi practice și valoroase. Mi-ar plăcea să revin pentru un curs susținut de Mariano Rocabada. Nu am recomandări de îmbunătățire, totul mi s-a părut bine organizat. Mâncarea a fost foarte bună, chiar dacă am glumit că poate a fost prea multă. Dispozitivele au fost exact ce trebuie, nu aș avea nevoie de nimic în plus.

Aș descrie evenimentul de azi în trei cuvinte: mâncare, dinți și tehnologie. Mi-a plăcut foarte mult ideea că le pot arăta pacienților mei cum va arăta zâmbetul lor în viitor, cred că va fi de mare ajutor. Dispozitivele utilizate mi s-au părut foarte faine, e clar că acesta este viitorul. Vreau să le integrez în clinica noastră și să le arăt pacienților. Tehnologia deja ajută medicina, iar evoluția în acest sens va fi una frumoasă. Organizarea a fost bună, locația mi-a plăcut. Iar mâncarea, excelentă, mai ales pentru că îmi place rața. Aș reveni pentru un curs susținut de doctor Duval.

Pentru mine, experiența de azi a fost informativă, emoționantă și prea scurtă. A fost o avalanșă de informații noi, într-un context în care digitalizarea e inevitabilă. Dacă nu ținem pasul, riscăm să pierdem trenul. Am simțit că mai era nevoie de încă o zi, pentru a putea lucra digital și a asimila practic tot ce s-a discutat. Într-o singură zi e greu să aprofundezi totul, mai ales spre finalul zilei când deja oboseala se simte. Dispozitivele puse la dispoziție au fost excelente. Spațiul e frumos amenajat, lumina bună, iar totul a fost la un standard înalt. Singura mențiune ar fi legată de utilizarea microscopului, dacă vorbim despre preparări minim-invazive, ar fi util să avem lentilele și binoclul la dispoziție.

Why is this course worth attending?

In oral rehabilitation, the difference between a stable treatment and a failing case can be measured in microns, and true confidence comes only from clear, scientifically validated protocols applied correctly.

Patients rely on function, comfort, and predictable esthetics, and you need a complete system that gives you full control at every stage: from diagnosis and TMJ analysis to mock-up, preparation, and cementation.

This masterclass offers far more than technique; it provides a complete method that turns complex oral rehabilitations into a reproducible, calculated, and safe process, regardless of case difficulty.

What you risk if you don’t attend this course:

Misinterpreting the source of orofacial pain and applying treatments unrelated to the real cause.
Missing key signs in TMJ evaluation and failing to differentiate properly between muscular and joint disorders
Remaining stuck in outdated protocols with low predictability and no modern scientific foundation
Losing valuable time on steps that can be standardized and simplified
Obtaining unstable results due to incorrect determination of vertical dimension or occlusion
Facing repeated adjustments, relapses, or patients with poor functional outcomes
Falling behind colleagues who already work with modern FMR & TMD protocols

All of this translates into a higher risk of complications, lost time, and a real disadvantage in daily practice.

Why you should register now:

You will learn to apply modern protocols for diagnosis, TMJ, occlusion, and full-mouth rehabilitation
You will accurately determine vertical dimension, prosthetic space, and guidance, even in difficult cases
You will work with clinical algorithms used internationally in excellence centers such as the Kois Center and the MPI
You will gain a predictable workflow, immediately applicable in your practice, with stable and reproducible outcomes
You will secure a competitive advantage, cleaner treatments, more comfortable patients, and long-term results

Who is this course for?

For dentists who want a deep understanding of the connection between occlusion, the TMJ, orofacial pain, and oral rehabilitation and who want to apply modern, highly predictable protocols.

For residents and young clinicians who want to strengthen their practical foundation and gain confidence in TMJ evaluation, vertical dimension determination, mock-ups, and guided preparations.

For clinicians who want to implement functional occlusion in their daily practice, achieving more stable, more controlled cases and long-term results.

For those looking to advance professionally, learning to manage both simple and complex cases, including severe wear, orofacial pain, TMJ disorders, and full-mouth rehabilitations.

This is not the right course if:

You are looking for a theoretical course without direct application to real clinical cases involving oral rehabilitation or TMJ..

You are not willing to implement modern protocols for evaluation, mock-ups, vertical dimension determination, and functional occlusion in your daily practice.

You believe oral rehabilitation is limited only to esthetics or restorations, rather than including diagnostics, function, TMJ analysis, and biomechanical planning.

You are not available for hands-on, step-by-step practical sessions and clinical demonstrations.

You are not interested in refining your protocols for complex cases or reducing the risk of relapse and complications.

Don’t postpone your professional growth.

If you’ve read this far, you already know it’s time to invest in your development

Modern oral rehabilitation is no longer a “bonus”, it is an essential standard for stable, functional, and esthetically predictable treatments.

With updated protocols and correctly applied techniques, you will be able to handle both simple and complex cases with greater confidence, avoid relapses, and work securely through every step.
All within an intensive, practical course that you can integrate immediately into your daily practice.

Invest in your training and gain predictability, control, and a real advantage over colleagues who are still working “by feel.”.

By joining this course, you gain access to a complete system used internationally in centers of excellence, a system that transforms the way you plan, prepare, and complete full-mouth rehabilitations.

Don’t let compromise-based improvisations define your treatments.
Take the next step. Register now and turn your clinical routine into a standard of excellence
