He will show the clinician how to evaluate your orthodontic cases in all three dimensions (anterior-posterior, transverse, and vertical).

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the key to structural diagnosis – the Five Condylar Positions.
• Explain why you cannot find centric relation in 40% of your cases without using a CBCT.
