Occlusion Series by Clinical Mastery is a sequence of two and three day hands on courses built around making occlusion usable in everyday restorative dentistry. It begins with UO1: Mastering Functional Dentistry, which targets the occlusal decisions behind common restorative failures, and builds toward complex cases, full mouth reconstruction, and TMD.
What makes the experience different:
- Learn from Dr. John Nosti, Clinical Director of Clinical Mastery, who practices full time with an emphasis on functional cosmetics, full mouth rehabilitation, and TMJ dysfunction, holds fellowships in the AGD, ICOI, and Academy of Comprehensive Esthetics, and authored the Ultimate Occlusion courses.
- Train with faculty who are practicing clinicians, in sessions where seats are limited so every doctor gets time in the operatory.
- Take the records yourself in UO1, including CR recording, facebow transfer, and study model analysis, along with hands on anterior and premolar preparations.
- Follow a clear progression after UO1: complex case planning in UO2, a planning and case presentation system in UO3, edentulous and implant supported reconstruction in UO4, and a three day airway and TMD workshop in UO5.
- Join a community of dentists who push each other to take on bigger cases, with courses held at the Colleyville, Texas campus and in other cities.
Best practical takeaways:
- Spotting chairside red flags before they lead to restorative failures
- Knowing when to change the bite and when to leave it alone
- Deprogramming patients and setting up reliable records
- Preparation design for functional, cosmetic, and veneer cases
- Designing, preparing, temporizing, and cementing single arch functional cases
- Material selection and cementation for specific cases
- Principles of successful equilibration
- Explaining occlusal disease to patients so they understand it
Clinical distinction: The Occlusion Series is not a theory heavy philosophy lecture or a full mouth program you must commit to from day one. Its value is starting with the occlusal decisions general dentists face every week and building toward larger cases, with diagnosis, records, preparation design, equilibration, and patient communication taught as one practical system.
Best for: general and restorative dentists who want occlusion to feel practical rather than abstract, starting with everyday crowns, veneers, and wear cases and working toward full mouth rehabilitation over time. UO1 is designed as the starting point, so you can begin there and add later courses as your cases grow in scope.
