Session Details:

📅 Friday 15th May 2026

⏰ 11:15 – 12:00

📍 BACD Aesthetic and Digital Dentist Theatre

🎤 “Essential aspects of occlusion for the general dental practitioner”

Occlusion is often seen as one of the more complex areas of dentistry, but Prof. Tipton’s session is designed to change that. This practical lecture focuses on breaking down key principles into clear, clinically applicable concepts.

What You’ll Learn

This session goes beyond theory, equipping delegates with tools they can immediately apply in practice. Key learning outcomes include:

• Understanding RAP (Retruded Axis Position) and its relevance in restorative dentistry

• Mastering essential occlusal principles for functional stability

• Differentiating between conformative and reorganised approaches

• Applying occlusion effectively in diagnosis and treatment planning

• Recognising how occlusion impacts restorations, tooth wear, and patient comfort

• Making predictable, long-term clinical decisions

The aim is simple: to give general dental practitioners the confidence to approach occlusion with clarity, improving both treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction.
