Overview

 Most occlusal and TMD concepts taught are over 50 years old and while those concepts work for some patients, those same concepts lead to catastrophic treatment outcomes for other patients. The goal of this program is to help you recognize which patients present with higher risk factors that may lead to unsuccessful outcomes and to share concepts that can successfully treat low risk and high risk occlusal-TMD patients.

Learning Objectives

1. Learn 2 easy screening tools which will help you recognize high risk occlusal/TMD patients

2. Understand the 2 key diagnostic tools to evaluate the risk level for occlusal/TMD patients

3. Develop a simplified treatment planning flow chart that will provide a decision tree for both low risk and high risk occlusal/TMD patients

4. Review both low risk and high risk cases that have been treated both successfully and unsuccessfully
