    Overview

    Evaluation and Management of Temporomandibular Disorders (Abu Dhabi)

    Course Description

    This one-day TMJ training offers an overview of Evaluation and Management of Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) Participants will understand the anatomy and biomechanics of the normal Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ), as well as aberrant or pathological mechanics that necessitate a thorough evaluation and treatment plan. Characteristics of patients experiencing TMD will be identified. This TMJ course is intended to help differentiate between myofascial discomfort and internal derangements, as well as to educate students on the relationship between the cervical spine and TMJ. An evidence-based informed treatment will be covered for each diagnostic subset of TMD. Treatments covered to include but not limited to patient education, behavioral modification, modalities, exercises, and manual procedures. During lab time, participants will be able to palpate anatomical regions related to TMD and learn how to mobilize the TMJ. Participants will receive knowledge about a basic home exercise routine for their patients. There will also be discussions on proper orthotic therapy and lifestyle adjustments. Team approach between the physical therapist and dentist/oral surgeon will be emphasized in this course.

    Course Objectives 
    Upon completion of this course, the attendee will be able to:

    • Describe basic TMJ anatomy, biomechanics (mandibular dynamics)
    • Describe the pathophysiology of all common diagnostic subsets of TMD
    • Perform the history & physical examination for each diagnostic subset of TMD
    • Formulate physical therapy treatment strategies for each diagnostic subset of TMD
    • Identify the PT’s role within the dental community for the treatment of TMD.
    • Discuss cervical spine connections to TMD
    • Educate clients in the management of TMD

    Target audience
