Occlusion is such a huge topic but checking the occlusion is a lot more different scenario. Most of us have faced the challenge of receiving a crown or onlay from the lab only to discover the occlusion is far from ideal. And we often asked ourselves “When and How did that happen?” and “How can we prevent this scenario from happening?”

Join us on this special episode as we delve into a game-changing technique – the functionally generated path technique – with the experienced and generous Dr. Tom Bereznicki. Having recently stepped into clinical retirement, Dr. Bereznicki remains a powerhouse in the education scene.
