Intervention for Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMD), Myofascial Pain and Headaches (Live Webinar)
WebcastFaculty
OVERVIEW
Intervention for Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMD), Myofascial Pain and Headaches (Live Webinar) is organized by Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of University of Southern California (USC) and will be held during Mar 23 - 24, 2018.
The target audience for this medical event is dentists and other health care professionals dealing with orofacial myogenous pain conditions and headaches in the orofacial region. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 14 Continuing Education Credits.
Conference Description :
This hands-on course gives the participants the opportunity to learn how to perform a physical examination on patients with TMD. The goal of the workshop is to review how to take a history, perform an examination and come up with a tentative diagnosis and effective treatment plan. Also, the participants will practice therapeutic approaches to TMD including Trigger point identification, Stretching, and TMJ mobilization. The injection techniques will be performed in anatomical models.
This course reviews the appropriate pharmacologic, behavioral, splint therapy and physical medicine management procedures for TMD. For example, myofascial pain-based exercises include stretching, mobilization and manipulation methods. Muscle injections (e.g. trigger point anesthetic and botox injections) and joint injections (e.g. sodium hyaluronate, arthrocentesis and corticosteroids) will be discussed. The commonly used occlusal orthotic devices will also be discussed and the common recommended prescriptions for pain and spasm management will be reviewed.
Conference Topics :
• Pharmacology for TMD.
• The use of Biofeedback for TMD.
• Splints, types and indications.
• Myofascial pain protocol: exercises, stretching.
• TMJ mobilization methods.
• Muscle and joint injections.
• Medical history.
• Trigger point mapping.
• Muscle stretching.
• Spray and stretch technique.
• Trigger points.
• Botox injections.
• Splint selection and delivery.
• Physical therapy for TMD.
Conference Objectives are :
• Be able to select medications for TMD.
• Understand the role of the behavioral therapy for TMD.
• Be able to select a splint accordingly with a case requirement.
• Know how to describe the MFP protocol.
• Be familiar with the TMJ mobilization methods.
• Know the different injection protocols for TMD and muscle disorders.
• Understand the process of establishing a TMJ diagnosis using a standardized TMJ examination. • Know the options for occlusal splint therapy.
• Understand the various modalities of physical therapy used for TMD.
• Understand the management of chronic myofascial pain using fluoromethane and trigger point therapy.
• Know when to perform intramuscular and intra-articular injections.
