OVERVIEW
Module 1: Understanding Masticatory Function and Dysfunction is organized by OHI-S.
Total Lecture Time: 6h 39 min
Description:
This course will give you a comprehensive understanding of TMJ dysfunctions, orofacial pain and occlusion in the concept of Jeffrey Okeson performed by the legendary author!
The course contains information only with a scientific evidence base - this will help to take a fresh look at functional issues. We recommend this course as a must for every dentist.
During the course you will learn:
- TMJ anatomy and biomechanics
- Etiologic considerations of TMD
- Five joint positions that are used in dentistry today
- Intracapsular disorders of the TMJ.
