Many dentists have enjoyed this simple but practical approach to the diagnosis and treatment of tempormandibular joint dysfunction which is prevalent in 34% of the adult patients according to the ADA. In this course you will gain basic, step-by-step information on TM Dysfunction. Dr. Rondeau will give you a clear understanding of this disorder so you can determine which patients you can treat and which patients to refer.

Dentists have the prime responsibility to diagnose and treat this common disorder. TM disorders are progressive and worsen over time; therefore, just like orthodontics, it is imperative that the problem be treated as early as possible. Dentists need to diagnose and stabilize the TMJ prior to restorative, prosthetic or orthodontic treatment.

This introductory course will discuss the diagnosis and treatment of patients with TM Dysfunction. The course includes an extensive course manual with over 300 pages with numerous colored photos of different types of splints, bite registrations, muscle palpations, anatomy of TMJ etc to help clinicians to understand how to help their patients who have TM dysfunction.

Dentists treating patients for snoring and sleep apnea need to have a clear understanding of this disorder to properly treat their patients using oral appliances. Hopefully, you will share my vision for the future and enroll in a course that will increase the size of your practice and assist you with providing an important health service for your patients young and old.
