ABOUT THE COURSE
TMD pain and dysfunction is one of the most rapidly growing and difficult to understand areas of dental health services for the following reasons: First, the recognition that temporomandibular disorders are significant clinical problems; second, the need to develop a scientifically supported knowle dge base to improve the understanding of the diagnosis and management of pain and dysfunction of the masticatory system and related facial structures; third, the need for both clinicians and faculty with sufficient training and experience in temporomandibular joint problems and their differential diagnosis to provide quality patient care, teaching, and research in the field.
It is currently estimated that 25% of the population has pain or dysfunction at some period of their life and that at least 5% will seek therapy. General dentists are attempting to manage about 80% of these problems and the remaining 20% are treated by specialists.
This Course will present contemporary, practical and evidence-based information from four clinicians/speakers recognized in the field of TMD. There will be a balance among seminar-type lectures, laboratory workshop. The course will develop the participants' skill and confidence in handling TMD patients.
We believe there is a need for well-trained General Dentists to be able to manage TMD in the clinical setting and participate in academic and research areas as well as collaborate with other specialties.
COURSE FEE: P15,000
Course fee is inclusive of 3 full day workshop with morning snacks, lunch and afternoon snacks
