A sound knowledge of occlusal principles is essential for any dental surgeon who is providing Orthodontic treatment. Failure to apply these principles may well result in a less than ideal treatment plan and instability of the final occlusion. 

Aims to:

• promote an understanding of the fundamentals of occlusion 
• promote an understanding of occlusion as it applies to Orthodontics 
• promote an understanding of the relationship of Temporo-Mandibular Joint dysfunction and occlusion and Orthodontics 
• promote an understanding of the current literature 
• promote an understanding of the force systems available 
• promote an understanding of laboratory communication 
• promote an understanding of the medico-legal implications and responsibilities associated with treatment

Objectives to:

• understand the fundamental principles of occlusion 
• understand the fundamental principles of the occlusion you are aiming for post Orthodontic treatment. 
• materials
• laboratory communication
• understand medico-legal requirements and responsibilities 
• provide group interactive learning in a structured manner
