NEDDS CE Event

Doctors and staff please register for a very clinically relevant lecture on TMD by Dr. Eric Schiffman from the University of Minnesota.

Diagnosis and Management of the Most Common Temporomandibular Disorders

Overview:
Dr. Schiffman will review the anatomy and function of the TMJ and masticatory muscles. He will present current evidence-based diagnostic criteria for assessing the most common temporomandibular disorders (TMD) that can be easily implemented in the clinical setting. Imaging techniques and indications will be reviewed. Simple screening questionnaires will be presented to assess for the presence of TMD and associated biological, behavioral and psychosocial contributing factors. By evaluating the whole person, the clinician can decide whether they want to treat the patient or refer them. Evidence-based initial treatment including simple self-care techniques and medications will be discussed. Indications and contraindications for splint therapy will be reviewed in detail with an overview of other treatment options including physical therapy. Finally, indications for dental interventions after TMD treatment will be discussed.

Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to:

Learn to diagnosis the most common TMD.
Recognize psychosocial and behavioral factors that can influence your patients’
prognosis – and used to identify when to refer the patient.
Gain expertise at implementing self-care instructions for painful TMD.
Understand the indications and contraindications for splint therapy.
