Course Description:

Temporomandibular disorders have many concepts associated with them, some of which are supported by sound data and some of which are not.  This complexity arises from the many problems that can arise with masticatory function.  In order to effectively manage and treat TMD, the clinician must be able to recognize these disorders from other orofacial pain disorders.  Highlighting facts and fantasies related to the etiology of TMD, as well as discussing the diagnostic challenges thereof, will be the focus of this presentation.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:

1. Describe five potential risk factors for TMD.
2. Identify how dental therapy may influence TMD.
3. Describe the relationship of bruxism to TMD.
4. Explain the importance of taking an accurate history for the TMD patient.
