"Lingualized Occlusion Concept" & Continuing education courses
The "Lingualized Occlusion Concept'" as developed
by en ta in coLLaboration with leading sc ientists and
universit ies describes a speeitie contouring and

It comb ines the advantages of the 50 far highly
mutual controversial concepts [anatomie and
