Temporo-mandibular Disorders

Objectives

The diagnosis and management of TMD has, over the years, created a certain amount of controversy. On occasion anecdotal evidence has influenced clinical practice, leaving those who have been using these techniques liable to serious difficulties if they have to defend their management of patients, particularly in the event of a formal complaint or legal action.

This one day course provides delegates with the facts about TMD, using evidence-based practice, so that they can treat their patients secure in the knowledge that their clinical practice can be easily justified.

How can I tell the difference between the various disorders? Is there any particular design of splint that is more effective?

How to adjust occlusal splints and how often to review your patients. What to do if the splint doesn’t eliminate the problem. Creating a safe environment for restorative work.
