Webinar: Occlusal Splints - Beyond the "Night Guard" with Dr. Michael Melkers

Occlusal splints have traditionally been thought of by patients and clinicians alike as ‘just a piece of plastic’ or a ‘night guard.’ This webinar will shatter that myth and bring a better understanding and appreciation to an underutilized and undervalued service. Dr. Melkers will discuss an intention-based approach to splint therapy focused on the patients’ and clinicians’ goals. Clinicians and team members will have a better understanding of why we prescribe splint therapy, which splints are appropriate and how they are utilized. Dr. Melkers has served as an expert defense witness for clinicians regarding splint therapy and occlusal changes. He will share insights in ethical and responsible patient communication and informed consent. https://denbright.com
