Question 1

Will I be able to bring the Biofunctional Dentistry (BD) approach into my clinic?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our aim is for you to implement BD in your clinic. It wouldn't be right to offer a 100% guarantee; it can vary depending on case profile and team conditions. But even after Session 1, you leave with a framework you can apply tomorrow. In general, participants have started treating patients with the BD approach during or after Sessions 1 and 2, and after Session 3 they carry out the final interventions and complete the cases. There are roughly two months between sessions so that participants can start admitting and treating patients with this approach and receive all the necessary information and mentorship along the way.

Question 2

Will I recoup the course fee in my clinic?

Accepted Answer

Most dentists see the financial return on this investment through the splint phase and the finishing phase that follows; they usually cover the course fee after 1-2 cases. In the BD approach, a splint is not a stand-alone product; it is a diagnostic and therapeutic phase initiated with the right indication. In this phase you guide the patient's joint and muscle closure to a safe position and track symptoms, while also clarifying which interventions are truly necessary at the finishing stage.

In addition, more accurate diagnosis reduces unnecessary interventions and repeat appointments; lower fracture and retouch rates free up chair time; the first-month adjustment and follow-up protocol increases predictability; and a shared language with the laboratory reduces the need for production revisions.

The program structure also supports this transition: the first three sessions form the backbone. The fourth session is optional; it is designed for one-on-one progress with your accumulated cases and for personalized feedback. Mentorship and case evaluation continue after the course, and you'll also have laboratory communication forms and patient explanation templates on hand.

Question 3

Do I need to take all the sessions at once?

Accepted Answer

No, you don't need to take all the sessions at once; you can take them separately. Session 4 is also optional. Its purpose is to go through cases one by one with limited capacity. Completing the first three sessions, which form the backbone of the program, is sufficient to bring the BD approach into your clinic. You can add Session 4 later if you wish.

Question 4

I didn't attend Session 1. Can I join Session 2?

Accepted Answer

It's possible; however, we recommend attending Session 1 before moving on to Session 2, because Session 2 (splint fabrication, adjustment and initial follow-up) directly depends on the accurate diagnosis and record protocols taught in Session 1.

Question 5

If I start seeing patients after Session 1 and need help, what should I do?

Accepted Answer

From the very first session, Dr. Melih Şengül continues to mentor you outside the course and answers your questions; if you wish, you may bring your patient or present a case. If over time you have many patients approaching the finishing stage, we recommend bringing these cases to Session 4 to discuss them and determine the next steps.

Question 6

Do you offer discounts? Can I pay by credit card? Is there an installment plan?

Accepted Answer

If you pay for 3 or 4 sessions at once, a 15% discount is applied. No discount is applied when sessions are purchased individually. If you come as a group (2 or more people), a partial discount is applied depending on the number of participants. You can pay by bank transfer, credit card or cash. For credit card payments, up to 12 installments are available.

Question 7

I'd like to come with my technician or physiotherapist. Is there a discount?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer an 80% discount for one technician or physiotherapist you wish to bring with you.

Question 8

What does a course day look like?

Accepted Answer

Each session lasts two days, 16 hours of training in total. The day starts at 09:30 with coffee and breakfast, and runs until 19:00 with four teaching blocks, coffee breaks and lunch. All four sessions together amount to 64 hours of training over 7-8 months.

Question 9

How many participants are there per session?

Accepted Answer

Sessions 2 and 3 are limited to 12 participants and the Masterclass to 6. Capacity is kept small so that case discussions can go into sufficient depth for every participant.

Question 10

Is a certificate awarded at the end of the course?

Accepted Answer

Participants who complete the Masterclass (Session 4) receive a certificate of attendance.
