TMJ: Why diagnosing and treating is critical to your practice

“Why do you see all those patients?”

“I couldn’t ever practice like that.”

“I’m an orthodontist. I want to bend wire.”

“Seeing T.M.J. Dysfunction patients will ruin my practice.”

All of us have heard these questions and statements many times and there is some truth in them. There are many practitioners who feel that specializing in this area is both challenging and rewarding, however. This course will remove the frustrations from the challenge and enhance the rewards.

One need only survey the mailings, journals, and dental meeting announcements to ascertain not only how much time is spent teaching treatment of dysfunction but, moreover, how different each lecturer’s concept of treatment is. With this in mind, I would like to present not THE concept of management, but “one” concept of management. Of necessity, my biases of types of splints and use of various modalities will be described. Scientific biases for how one chooses a type of splint, how one derives it, and why, is covered well in this mini-residency as well as practical, effective, efficient, low stress treatment (for both patient and doctor) is the chief purpose of this course.

This course is taught over a three-day period in Dr. Roncone's lecture facility and clinic in Vista, California.

SEATING IS VERY LIMITED.
