  • Welcome and introduction
  • Why does occlusion matter?
  • Introduction – The Five Basic Principles of Occlusion:
  1. Stable contacts on all teeth of equal intensity in centric relation – posterior stability
  1. Anterior guidance in harmony with the envelope of function
  1. All posterior teeth disclude during mandibular protrusive movements – mutually protected occlusion
  1. All posterior teeth disclude on the working side during mandibular lateral excursions
  1. All posterior teeth disclude on the non-working side during mandibular lateral excursions

09:30-11:00 – Professor Paul Tipton >
  • Signs/Symptoms of Occlusal Disease 
  • Causes of wear 
  • Terminology
  • Stable contacts on all teeth of equal intensity in centric relation – posterior stability
  • Where should the condyles be and the advantages of Retruded Axis
  • Position (RAP) v Intercuspal position (ICP)
  • Retruded Contact Posit on (RCP) = (ICP) v (RAP)
  • Conformative v reorganised occlusion – with reference to wear cases
  • Large vertical, small horizontal and large vertical slides
  • Large horizontal, small horizontal and horizontal slides

REFRESHMENT BREAK

11:30-13:00 – Dr Ken Harris >

  • Tectonic plates
  • Does it matter if the patient has no anterior guidance?

REFRESHMENT BREAK

15:45-16:45 – Dr Koray Feran >
  • Introduction to the importance of dynamic occlusion when assessing a patient and explain the terms of working side and non-working side when examining patients and planning occlusal form

16:45-17:00 – Dr Tom Bereznicki >
  • Is occlusion just as important or more important when providing implants?

About the 1992 Circle

A social forum for retired Fellows founded in 2022, the 1992 Circle is named in honour of the year the Faculty of General Dental Practice was founded, a key moment which brought together the members of the College of General Dental Practitioners (UK) and of the Advisory Board in General Dental Practice of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, with the shared ambition to create an independent College over time.

Membership of the 1992 Circle is open only to Fellows of the College who are fully retired from practice. Retired practitioners who were a Fellow of the Faculty of General Dental Practice and/or more recently were a Fellow of the College of General Dentistry are eligible to join or re-join the College as Fellows and then to join the 1992 Circle. There is no charge to join the Circle or attend its biannual gatherings.

If you meet the eligibility requirements and would like to join the 1992 Circle, we’d be delighted to hear from you – please contact us at [email protected]

And if you know any retired Faculty Fellows who are not currently aware of the Circle, please let them know about it and encourage them to get in touch with us.
