Limited Places

Craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD) and orofacial pain (OP) are very prevalent in the general population. These syndromes encompass a large number of pathologies of the craniomandibular and cervical and scapular area. (Nearly 100% of people will experience OP at some point in their life.) CMD and OP include some of the most important symptoms of craniomandibular/cervical muscular pathologies, as well as temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), orofacial neuropathies/neuralgias (mainly trigeminal), and primary headaches (migraines, tension-type headaches, trigeminal autonomic headaches). 

Postgraduate training in the field of CMD and OP is currently very scarce in Spain. There are very few continuing education courses targeted at general dentists. The course offer at the university level is particularly scant. This intensive weeklong course is thus designed to offer participants a classic and current vision of CMD and OP at both the diagnostic and treatment levels.

Courses objectives

 

  1. Diagnose and carry out a correct treatment plan for muscular and temporomandibular joint disorders.
  2. Know how to interpret x-rays and MRIs with CMD disc and bone pathologies.
  3. Know the causes of, diagnose and carry out a correct pharmacological treatment of orofacial pain.
  4. Learn the classic and current occlusion patterns.
  5. Establish the link between occlusion and CMD and its importance in oral rehabilitation.
  6. Know the physical therapy treatment for temporomandibular disorders.
  7. Know how to diagnose and refer surgical cases.
  8. Know how to diagnose and treat simple cases of sleep disorders and SAHS.
  9. Learn to make and adjust oral orthotics and deprogramming appliances.
  10. Employ new technologies based on the use of oral scanners and 3D printers in the production of oral orthotics and appliances.
  11. Correctly use the articulator as a diagnostic, prognostic and treatment planning tool.
  12. Learn about everyday clinical situations through the discussion and analysis of clinical cases.
  13. Learn about the psychology of and behavioural therapy for dysfunctional and OP patients.
