Description
An evidence-based practical approach to the treatment of orofacial pain, joint dysfunction, and headaches for specialists and general dentists!
This course will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of TMJ dysfunctions, orofacial pain, and occlusion, all based on the renowned concepts of Barry Glassman.
During the course, you will learn in detail about:
– Occlusion, function, and parafunction
– Pain evaluation and establishment of the correct diagnosis
– Evidence-based management of temporomandibular disorders
– Evidence-based management of orofacial pain, including trigeminal mediated disorders (TMD)
– Application of the anterior midpoint stop appliance concept.
Lesson 1.Introduction to Evidence Based Orofacial Pain

– History of empirical evidence and observations that support structulism
– The role of confirmation bias in the continuation of support of structurlism
– The concept of evidence-based densitry
– Key role of evidence-based dentistyr in orofaical pain speciality.
Recommended for: Orthodontists, Prosthodontists, Functional dentists, Restorative dentist, General dentists.
Lesson 2.Occlusion, Function, and Parafunction
