Occlusion, Malocclusion and Jaw Dysfunction - An Overview for Dentists

As a result, clinical decision-making mostly relies on anecdotal findings, clinical experience, personal preference and belief.
What is a good occlusion? What is the relationship between malocclusion and jaw dysfunction? Is there any long term benefit from having a good occlusion on oral health? How should we manage jaw dysfunction?
This course will review the relationship between malocclusion and jaw dysfunction and their management with the following learning objectives:
