Description
Dive deep into the complex world of temporomandibular disorders, craniomandibular dysfunction, and functional occlusion with one of Europe’s leading pioneers in functional dentistry — Dr. Salvador Congost.
This comprehensive program guides you through the science, biomechanics, and clinical application of masticatory rehabilitation, blending physiology, bioesthetic principles, and advanced evidence-based protocols.
During the course, you will learn about:
— The causes, classification, and clinical presentation of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD)
— Functional biomechanics of the TMJ, including healthy vs. pathological chewing patterns and their impact on the masticatory system
— Diagnosis and management of dysfunctional chewing systems, occlusal principles, and the use of splints for rehabilitation
— Seated Condylar Position (SCP) protocols for stable occlusion
— Fabrication and adjustment of MAGO (Maxillary Anterior Guided Orthotic)
— Principles of stable occlusion, functional wax-up, long-term provisionals.
By the end of this program, you will be equipped with the knowledge, practical skills, and clinical confidence to assess, diagnose, and rehabilitate complex masticatory dysfunctions with precision and predictability.
Lesson 1.Temporomandibular Disorders and Craniomandibular Dysfunction: Causes, Classification, and Clinical Insights
— Definition and classification of temporomandibular disorders (TMD)

Lesson 3.Diagnosis and Management of Dysfunctional Chewing Systems
— Evaluation of unhealthy chewing systems
— Biomechanics of the TMJ and occlusal principles in dysfunctional chewing
— The unphysiological pattern of chewing
— Anterior contact guidance and anterior proprioceptive control
