Occlusal medicine
CMIC Mission
Occlusion medicine is a concept developed by Prof. Sadao Sato and Prof. Slavicek after realizing and concluding that human masticatory organ has a bigger role in our body than ever thought possible.
Function minded orthodontic treatment in combination with restorative dentistry may positively change the position of our mandible and establish a dental and jaw relationship in which the jaw position are in fact supported by teeth protecting vital TMJ structures and a physiologic grinding activity may systematically balance the effects of the sympathetic nerve activation. Also, by taking advantage of the adaptative and compensatory capacity of the craniomandibular bones, it is possible to treat craniomandibular disharmony cases without the need of jaw surgery.
CMIC aims at sharing the knowledges and orthodontic and occlusal techniques to all health care professionals so that a closer integration and collaboration between dental occlusion and medicine may contribute to improve human health!
