LectureThis course is presented in person only.
Course Description
Patients visiting dental offices present with a growing number of complex orofacial complaints. This course will highlight orofacial conditions commonly encountered in practice and the management of these disorders using multiple modalities.
Demystifying TMD: Perhaps no other health condition has more misconceptions than “TMJ”, among health care providers and the public. BOTOX, occlusal appliances (including mandibular advancement devices), NTI, surgical orthodontics, medications, acupuncture, physical therapy, and trigger point injections are all in current use to treat TMJD. Which ones should you use? In this presentation, we will show a practical, evidence-based approach used successfully at the University of Washington.
Radiography to aid in diagnosis of TMD
Oral lesions – what are they, and which ones to biopsy or refer?
Oral Burning Disorders – How to diagnose and manage?
Course Topics
- TMD Diagnosis and Management – A New, Simplified Approach for Primary Care [Drangsholt]
