EVENTS

Annual Meeting

October 1st  – 3rd, 2026 – Nashville, TN

Clinical Research to Chairside Reality

  • TMJ Research Spotlight — Leading speakers present cutting-edge TMJ studies on joint stability, disc positioning, muscle harmony, and pain management, translating evidence-based findings into Bioesthetic protocols that resolve TMD symptoms, restore physiologic occlusion, and prevent long-term joint degeneration for predictable chairside application.
  • Digital Revolution in Bioesthetics — The conference demonstrates how intraoral scanning, CAD/CAM design, and 3D printing seamlessly integrate with Bioesthetic principles to achieve precise replication of natural stomatognathic harmony, enhancing accuracy in full-mouth rehabilitations while preserving tooth structure and TMJ health.
  • Medical Aspects of Dental Disease — Sessions explore the systemic and medical implications of dental disharmony—including links to head/neck pain, headaches, bruxism, airway issues, and overall wellness—showing how Bioesthetic Dentistry addresses root causes through biologic models of health, reducing disease progression and promoting holistic patient outcomes from research to daily practice.
  • Materials Update — Experts review the latest advancements in high-translucency zirconia, lithium disilicate, bioactive ion-releasing composites, hybrid ceramics, and fiber-reinforced polymers, illustrating their alignment with Bioesthetic goals for durable, esthetic, remineralizing restorations that support minimal intervention, superior wear resistance, and long-term functional stability.

Lab Curriculum: The Biological Model – Function of the Stomatognathic System

Location: Denver

Dysfunctional change in the masticatory system could be caused by any changes in tooth morphology due to wear processes, the insertion of direct or indirect restorations or orthodontic treatment. As part of the Function and Morphology curriculum, dental technicians and dentists learn how to create or restore natural tooth conditions using a functional wax-up.

The prerequisite for entry into the Bioesthetics® advanced training program with Function and Morphology Part 1 is the OBI’s 200 Series.
