Unique training for dentists of all specialties in the diagnosis and treatment of TMJ and cervical dysfunctions from Mariano Rocabado and Roberto Gutierrez.

The lecturers will remind all doctors who deal with TMJ pathology that the joint consists not only of the condyle, but also of the glenoid fossa of the temporal bone, i.e. has a connection with the skull. The position of the glenoid fossa directly depends on the state of the cervical spine and the position of the skull in space.

During the course, Dr.Roсabado's unique author's technique for diagnosing these structures will present. This technique allows you to understand:

– what is the primary cause of TMJ pathology

– will the dentist be able to cope with this pathology on his own or it is necessary to involve other specialists (kinesiologists, vertebrologists)

– when is it worth carrying out comprehensive rehabilitation of patients with TMJ pathology.
