The Foundation of OC’s Teachings
The fundamental principles of neuromuscular occlusion are at the core of Occlusal Connection’s teachings. We take them further, however, employing more advanced understanding, protocols, and techniques applied by measuring diagnostic data into the clinical setting. This, in turn, allows us to address the unanswered clinical questions of occlusion that have pervaded the neuromuscular and gnathologic community for years. This is one of the main reasons dentists have come to OC; to advance their clinical skills with greater understanding and precision.
The Focus and Objective of OC Training
The focus and objective of OC is to train dentists to be the best clinicians in the world. These are clinicians who have both a thorough understanding of dental occlusion and the ability to apply the neuromuscular occlusion and gnathic principles skillfully and appropriately.
OC Believes In
OC believes that occlusion should not be mysterious, and neither should the clinical challenge that we, as practicing dentists, encounter in treating cases relating to craniomandibular/TMD disorders, restorative procedures, and orthodontic challenges. Dentists who have been practicing NMD or any other Centric Related philosophy eventually come to recognize that there must be better, more logical answers to occlusal dilemmas. OC introduces as well as advanced the astute clinician to see how instrumentation (including K7s and J5 TENS units) are to be implemented in their offices at advanced levels.
Once that recognition and competency have been achieved through OC’s teachings, dentists understand that they can practice at a higher/practical level related to TMD, comprehensive restorative full-mouth dentistry, and orthodontic/orthopedics procedures and services, with greater confidence.
