TMD Diagnosis and Occlusal Management: MRI, Condylography, and CR Registration. Hands-on Workshop by Jean-Daniel Orthlieb

Everything About the TMJ, TMD, Occlusion, and Centric Relation with Jean-Daniel Orthlieb!

This comprehensive hands-on workshop with Dr. Jean-Daniel Orthlieb provides a complete clinical workflow for TMD diagnosis and occlusal management, combining clinical examination, MRI, condylography, therapeutic decision-making, and practical CR registration.

During the theoretical part of the course, you will learn about:

– TMJ function, strengths, and vulnerabilities
– General concepts and diagnostic classification of TMDs
– Clinical examination and functional testing
– The relationship between TMD and occlusion
– When occlusion should be modified in TMD patients
– Therapeutic options and the rationale for treatment selection
– Clinical assessment and functional diagnostic protocols.

During the hands-on part of the course, participants will:

– Perform clinical examination and functional testing based on documented clinical cases
– Analyze MRI and condylography findings
– Practice therapeutic decision-making based on real clinical cases
– Learn the fabrication process of a specific anterior occlusal stop and record the therapeutic mandibular position
– Perform CR registration using a Lucia jig and mandibular manipulation into centric relation (CR).

The course is a must-attend for functional dentists, prosthodontists, and orthodontists who manage patients with occlusal disorders and TMD.
