The right now 10-minute treatment for bruxism
In the post-COVID shutdown, stress is at an all-time high. This course will focus on bruxism; how it relates to the TMJ and the musculoskeletal system. We will discuss anatomy and pathology of the joint, the many sequelae related to bruxism and discuss the types of orthotic devices available for treatment.
Upon completion of the course, the clinician should be able to:
- identify the relationships and differences between TMD and bruxism; joint versus muscular dysfunction;
- recognise the less-obvious clues to bruxism;
- understand pros and cons of lab-made and dentist-made devices; and
- recommend and deliver pain-mitigating treatment in a single appointment with good profitability.
