Biometric interpretation treatment and application
The Seminar
Your dental treatments are altering the vertical, lateral or A/P position of your patient’s mandible. You know the need for quantifying the impact those changes are having on your patient’s craniofacial physiology. Fewer and fewer clinicians are willing to guess about their reconstructive, orthodontic or cosmetic patient’s craniofacial or stomatognathic health.
This seminar will teach the interpretation of 4 diagnostic aids for the stomatognathic system. Joint Vibration Analysis for the TMJ, Electromyography for the muscles of the head and neck, Jaw Tracking for 3D kinesiology studies and taking bite registrations and finally the T-Scan Novus for computerized occlusal case finishing. These aids can be used separately or integrated into a single system. They are taught in tandem to help highlight the interplay between TMJ, craniofacial muscles, jaw movement and position, and occlusion.
Ray also discusses, in great detail, the model for financially implementing biometrics into your practice and the path towards a differential diagnosis.

Dr. Ray Becker DDS, FAGD
Dr. Becker is internationally renowned as a pioneer, innovator, and integrator of advanced technologies in real-world clinical dentistry. His focus as a full-time practicing dentist is on comprehensive, reconstructive, and esthetic dentistry. By using biometric philosophy/guidelines/protocols
Dr. Becker is able to provide a fair and ethical framework that correlates with the patient’s clinical needs, and goals while truly making occlusion a foundation of his practice. Over his career, he has obtained a wide range of clinical knowledge and skills ranging from practice management through advanced restorative dentistry. His dedication to continuing education is evidenced by his achieving the Fellowship award from the Academy of General Dentistry. In addition, he also received the International College of Dentist’s award for ‘outstanding achievement, and the Maryland Academy of General Dentistry Award for ‘excellence in clinical proficiency and patient management’. Dr. Becker has keynoted international conferences and has authored numerous journal articles, DVD’s, and published works ranging from occlusion, lasers, CAD/CAM dentistry, through practice management. He has been sought out and actively involved on a developmental level by several companies including HCC, Unident, Sirona, and Isolite Systems. He currently has a strong working developmental relationship with BioResearch and Sirona.
