In the years since COVID, we have seen a large swelling of stress- from the disease and its widespread social, economic, and physical impacts. That has been accompanied by a distinct increase in TMD with muscle and joint concerns. Many in our profession do not have confidence in diagnosing and treating what has become a very common condition in our society. As a profession, dentists and teams need to be able to identify and diagnose TMD, understanding what is normal for the joint and masticatory system as well as best treatment courses. Join us as we unpack the "black box" of TMD.
Learning Objectives:
Define the basics of normal TMJ anatomy
Understand various forms of TMD through its signs and symptoms
Learn current diagnosis and treatment modalities of TMD
