Course Outline:
Most clinicians are familiar with the concepts of Global Diagnosis and Facially Generated Treatment Planning. These follow a thought process of Airway, Esthetics, Function, Structure, and Biology that provides powerful tools to assess, and to treatment plan any patient.
Dr. Gary DeWood has taught these concepts to thousands and will be providing a two-day hands-on workshop for the 2022-2023 Washington AGD Master Track. Dr. DeWood’s infectious energy and clear teaching style leaves participants excited and ready to apply concepts immediately upon returning to their practice. Prepare for an educational experience that will leave you motivated and able to take your diagnosis and treatment planning to the next level.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to:
- Apply highly individualized analysis and treatment planning based on a focus and flow that has been proven over more than 40 years.
- Help patients see the importance and value of including airway observations and analysis in their dental evaluation, plan airway directed treatment when appropriate, and know when treatment must be planned airway aware.
- Transfer esthetic and functional information to an articulator (analog OR digital) and design the desired occlusion using mounted models and photographs.
- Select the appropriate appliance based on diagnosis and desired outcome.
- Evaluate the possibilities in scanning, digitally designing, and printing dental
