Cherry blossoms bloom,
Mysteries of function call,
Kyoto beckons near.

April 2025, as sakura blossoms and Kyoto transforms into a truly magical place, OHI-S invites you to the unique Functional Dentistry Congress. This congress offers a chance not only to engage with the legendary Japanese school of dentistry but also to enjoy the beauty of cherry blossoms, covering Kyoto in a pink haze.

The congress will feature outstanding Japanese specialists, widely regarded as masters of their field: Sadao Sato, Kazumi Ikeda, Satoshi Aoki, Toshinari Toyama, Shimpei Sonoda, Taiichi Maekawa.

During the congress you will study protocols for working in the concepts of Roth, occlusal plane, functionally discluded occlusion.

This congress will give you not only new knowledge and professional skills but also an experience of the harmony between Japanese culture, science, and aesthetics. It’s a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in cutting-edge techniques in functional dentistry while networking with colleagues worldwide, creating enduring international connections.

PROGRAM

April 2

Roth philosophy

Kazumi IKEDA

Functional TMJ and harmonious orthodontic treatment (3 hours)

– Harmonize the bite and TMJ = stable results
– How do we diagnose the state of the TMJ? History, chairside examination, mount model, imaging (MRI and CBCT)
– Tha stability of the jaw position. What does this stability of the jaw position mean in clinical practice?
– How does the state obtained by stabilizing the jaw position change compared to before? We compare it with MRI, CBCT, and mandibular movement records
– Treating patients with disc displacement (DD)
– The effect of jaw position stabilization on mandibular growth.

Sadao Sato Occlusal Concept

Sadao SATO

Orthodontic treatment of patients with malocclusion and TMJ dysfunction

– The relationship between occlusal development and maxillofacial development
– Mandibular deviation and temporomandibular disorders
– Protection of the TMJ by occlusion
– The relationship of inclination of the occlusal plane and occlusal support
– Efficacy of orthodontic occlusal construction in the treatment of TMJ disorders.

Satoshi AOKI

Occlusal reconstruction with consideration of jaw function: controlling mandibular position, occlusal plane, and occlusal vertical dimension

– Diagnostic items for occlusal reconstruction
– Diagnosis of skeletal patterns
– Examination of jaw function
– Comprehensive diagnosis
– Purpose of pre-prosthetic orthodontics
