Dr. Melih Şengül
A four-session, in-person clinical program that treats the masticatory system as a cornerstone of overall health. One path from diagnosis, through two treatment phases, to a case-based Masterclass.
This course challenges dentists to reassess their profession and their goals: are we fulfilling our role as healers, or simply maintaining a superficial standard? Are we on the right path as healers of the masticatory system, such a complex and important part of the human body?
The answer lies in seeing the masticatory system, so often misunderstood or underappreciated, as a cornerstone of overall health. In this course we approach dentistry not as a discipline focused only on aesthetic appearance, but as a "science of healing" that examines the function and importance of the masticatory system in the body in depth.
In a program that blends clinical knowledge, hands-on experience and interactive discussion, participants explore biofunctional principles from fundamental methods to advanced digital technologies. The course offers prosthodontists, general dentists and laboratory technicians a roadmap that will transform their approach to dentistry. Dentists are encouraged to attend together with their technicians.
Diagnosis first, then two treatment phases, and finally a case-based Masterclass. Sessions can also be taken individually.
Teaches, step by step, the historical development of function-focused dentistry, the biological model, TMJ anatomy and detailed muscle, joint and tooth examination protocols; equips participants with the ability to "read the system".
Review Session 1Through splint design and occlusal adjustment, cranio-cervical integration, physiotherapy and patient appointment management, the initial stabilization of function is achieved; participants may bring and discuss one of their own cases.
Limited capacity · 12 participants
Review Session 2With adhesive material science, negative and positive coronoplasty, a full functional mock-up and interdisciplinary planning of final restorations, the definitive restorative completion of the stabilized system is taught.
Limited capacity · 12 participants
Review Session 3This workshop, open only to six participants who have completed the first three sessions, includes in-depth analysis of participant cases and advanced treatment strategies; theory turns into practice, and practice into mastery.

Review Session 401 · General Dentist
Learn to view the patient not just through the lens of a filling, but in an integrated way, considering posture, the TMJ, muscles and systemic findings. Plan every case, from everyday fillings to full-mouth rehabilitations, with a function-centered approach to prevent complications early.
The Biofunctional Dentistry Course accelerates treatment and reduces complication rates by enabling the entire team, from general dentists to technicians and from physiotherapists to prosthodontists, to speak the same biofunctional language. It gives every team member a function-focused, ethical, long-term perspective within their own specialty, which means more satisfying clinical outcomes and healthier patients.
