Occlusion, TMD and Orofacial Pain, from Beginning to End

Occlusion, TMD and Orofacial Pain, from Beginning to End

•  The management of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and orofacial pain is a complex problem in dentistry. This complexity arises from the many problems that can be associated with masticatory function.  In order to effectively manage TMD and orofacial pain disorders the clinician must be able to recognize these disorders from other orofacial pain disorders so that correct treatment can be selected.  This course will be a comprehensive review of the multiple factors that relate to TMD and orofacial pain disorders.  Treatments based on sound scientific principles will be presented.  Emphasis will be placed on diagnosis so that correct therapy will be selected for each patient. This course will benefit all practitioners interested in managing temporomandibular disorders.
