Course Overview
Online course on conservative and surgical methods for the treatment of severe forms of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) diseases.
This program provides a structured analysis of essential knowledge required in the work of maxillofacial surgeons and functional dentists. It covers anatomy, biomechanics, minimally invasive procedures, progressive idiopathic condylar resorption, and complete alloplastic replacement of the TMJ.
Using the analysis of numerous clinical cases, the course presents a structured approach to working with severe forms of TMJ diseases and demonstrates clinical decision-making strategies in complex cases.
The OHI-S TMJ Disorders program is designed for structured training in the diagnosis and management of TMJ disorders. It emphasizes modern, evidence-based protocols and interdisciplinary approaches aimed at improving functional stability, pain relief, and long-term patient outcomes.
