BSOS stands for ‘British Society for Occlusal Studies’

BSOS is a society for dentists and dental professionals who have an interest in Occlusion, the study of the dynamic relationship between the surfaces of the teeth and how they move in function. This encompasses both restorative dentistry, where the aim is to create or regain correct function (chewing, speaking etc), and parafunctional activities, such as bruxism (clenching and grinding the teeth), which may contribute to painful and damaging conditions included within the umbrella term TMD (Temporo-Mandibular Disorders)

BSOS was set up in 1982 by a small group of dentists including Roy Higson, Peter Watson, John Hyde and Andy Lane, who had realised they lacked knowledge in the subject. In fact, at that time Roy was the only dentist teaching occlusion in the UK, having studied at the world-renowned Pankey Institute in Key Biscane, Florida. To this day, Occlusion is still poorly understood by most dentists, partly due to a lack of teaching of the subject in dental schools. All BSOS members have undergone a thorough training and can demonstrate a knowledge of the subject; full members having undergone a much more rigorous and wide-ranging training including being able to equilibrate appropriate patients.

Why Study with BSOS?

At BSOS, we believe in tackling the difficult topics, breaking them down and making them easier to understand.

Sometimes, it’s about asking more questions, challenging the way we think and exploring new perspectives. 💡

It’s through these conversations, shared experiences and a willingness to keep learning that we grow as clinicians and develop our skills.

Be curious. Ask questions. Be a THINKING DENTIST ✨

Thank you Dr Josephine for speaking with us 🫶🏻

Be a Thinking Dentist ✨

Hear from Nina about how dentistry has changed her life, giving her a sense of *freedom in her mouth* that she never thought was possible. 🦷

Her experience is a powerful reminder of the difference thoughtful, patient-centred dentistry can make — not just to a smile, but to everyday life.

💡 Think differently. Learn together. Make a difference!
