This week we completed another series of OC Level 3 and 4 Master Class this week with a great group of colleagues. I am so proud of these dentists.

Drs. Soo Yeon “Grace” Chung (Buena Park, CA), Karli Will (Encinitas, CA) and Michael Chan (Encinitas, CA), Allison Chan (Del Mar/Menifee, CA) and Clayton Chan (Las Vegas, NV).

These doctors have proved themselves to be qualified to be on the OC map by showing their abilities to carving the orthotic blanks from scratch into anatomical occlusal form. They also know how to apply the key steps in adjusting the patients GNM orthotics. This is the next generation of dentistry proving that OC teachings are relevant and valid to today’s dental practice.

This week the following doctors came together to appreciate OC Occlusion Connections Levels 3 and 4 Masterclass courses.
I would like to give special thanks to all the referring colleagues in encouraging these wonderful doctors to OC courses. I really appreciate your trust and confidence in my teaching. OC has never done any marketing for any of our courses. It is purely by the word of mouth and the amazing Grace of God. So I can share my knowledge, expertise, experience and passion in GNM which has benefited and changed many patients’ lives for the better!

Is Myocentric the real CR? “Unstrained” and “Physiologic”

centric relation \sĕn΄trĭk rĭ-la΄shun\: acronym is CR; a maxillomandibular relationship, independent of tooth contact, in which the condyles articulate in the anterior-superior position against the posterior slopes of the articular eminences; in this position, the mandible is restricted to a purely rotary movement; from this unstrained, physiologic, maxillomandibular relationship, the patient can make vertical, lateral or protrusive movements; it is a clinically useful, repeatable reference position. (The Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms (GPT 9), May 2017). Previous CR definitions have now been removed and revised officially to this updated definition.

myocentric \mı΄o s ĕn΄trĭk\ adj: that terminal point in space in which, with the mandible in the rest position, subsequent clonic muscle contraction will raise the mandible through the interocclusal space along the myocentric (muscle balanced) trajectory; also described as the initial occlusal contact along the myocentric trajectory (isotonic closure of the mandible from rest position).
Jankelson B. Dent Clin North Am 1979;23:157-68 Jankelson BR, Polley ML. Electromyography in clinical dentistry. Seattle: Myotronica Research; 1984:52 myofascial trigger point \mı΄a-fash΄al trĭg΄ar point\

Our profession has taken noticed and has shifted their understanding, thanks to NM Airway awareness.

Now if they would begin to measure what is “unstrained” and grasp what “Physiologic” actually means they would be onto something.
