In this DVD lecture Dr. Okeson presents a general overview
of the use of occlusal appliances in the field of dentistry. He
takes the many different types of appliances and categorizes
them according to their proposed uses. He discusses the
indications and contraindications for each. He then reviews the
scientific evidence that exists to support their uses. In many
instances, only anecdotal evidence exists, placing a great
burden on the clinician to provide appropriate treatment. Dr.
Okeson goes on to show many clinical cases that demonstrate
the potential adverse effects that may occur with some
appliances. The clinician must be aware of these undesirable
effects in order to avoid them.
