Condylography: Recording and Analysis – Gregor Slavicek

This is a course on condylography in the concept of Rudolf Slavicek.

You will learn how to:

• Prepare a patient for the mandible movement recording
• Determine the hinge axis and the reference position of the patient
• Make a decision if the exact splint position works
• Follow the standard protocols for mandible movements recording
• Identify errors and artifacts during the recording
• Describe the data received from the condylograpfy.

The course is for prosthodontists, orthodontists and functional dentists.
