Predictable Functional Occlusion - Dentistry eBooks

Course Overview

Presented by a panel of renowned Japanese specialists — Kazumi Ikeda, Shimpei Sonoda, Sadao Sato, Satoshi Aoki, and Taiichi Maekawa — this course covers the Roth philosophy and TMJ-First concept in orthodontic treatment. Rather than treating occlusal reconstruction and TMJ health as separate concerns, the TMJ-First approach makes joint health the starting point for treatment planning.

The curriculum covers advanced methodologies for orthodontic treatment and occlusal reconstruction, along with digital protocol workflows for modern case management. It works through controlling mandibular position, occlusal plane, and vertical dimension — three interconnected factors central to achieving predictable, stable functional occlusion.

Across 10 videos and 8 hours of content, the course gives orthodontists a well-grounded, TMJ-first framework for functional occlusion, drawn from a respected Japanese school of thought.
