Prior attendance of Cervical Revolution is required. *Dentists may attend without prior attendance of Cervical Revolution.
This advanced course is designed to assist the dentist, or the healthcare professional, who is interested in occlusal pathomechanic behavior that is related to common, upright human unaligned cervical patterns. Specific cervical assessment tests, equilibration recommendations, and PRI evidence-based, proven upright frontal plane activity, incorporating podal integration, will be offered for the general dentist and clinical movement specialist. Optimizing desirable, bilateral re-occlusal sense for centric upright pharyngeal airway position and occipital balance, in the dental office will be addressed. Specific designed PRI occlusal orthotics will enable the dentist to eventually recalibrate and equilibrate occlusal interference associated with a centric oriented neck. Upright alternating shifting of body mass influenced by mandibular lateral translation, through specific posterior lateral occlusal sensory awareness, will remind the course attendee that oscillatory alternating lateral excursion of the mandible, is the most important oral and orthopedic postural activity generated by occlusal influence on the sphenoid and head.
Prior attendance of Cervical Revolution is required. *Dentists may attend without prior attendance of Cervical Revolution.
Educational Level: Advanced
Instructional Methods: Lecture, demonstration, clinical application, case discussion, and Q&A
Live Stream courses will take place from 8am-5pm CT each day, and certificates of completion/CE credit will be awarded the following week after completion of the course evaluation survey and short post-test. For more information on whether your state/organization is approved for CE approval, please click on the “CE Approval” tab. Live Stream courses will be engaging, interactive and include demonstration of objective testing and/or non-manual techniques, in addition to course attendees being able to ask questions throughout the course. All that’s needed on your end is reliable internet access, a webcam, microphone and speaker (or a smart phone can be used if you do not have a computer or laptop with this capability) to utilize ZOOM for the live stream course. The ZOOM links for the live stream course will be included in the confirmation email. The course manual will be shipped directly to you 1-2 weeks before the course. *International registrants are discounted $30 since we do not ship manuals internationally, however you will be able to print the digital manual if you so choose. A digital version of the course manual will be added to your PRI account the week of the course. In addition, participants will receive access to the recording of the live stream course for 14 days to review the material, and re-watch any material that may have been missed due to connection issues. Those who attend in-person during a live streamed course will also receive access to the recording for 14 days. Extensions beyond this 14 day review are not available. ***Please note: In order to receive access to the recording for review, you must participate in person on the Live Stream course with your camera on for at least half of the course (7.5 hours). If you sign up for the course and do not participate in at least 7.5 hours of the live stream, you will not receive the recording and you will not be refunded. Also, once course manuals have been shipped (or the digital version has been added to your account), there will be no refunds for cancellations.***
