The TMJ is increasingly in the focus of dentistry. In addition, many internet sites report more and more details about
this particular topic – drawing the patient´s attention on noises, clicks and realistic or unrealistic possible solutions.
The patients often expect a treatment effect in the sense of a „restitutio ad integrum“ – a restitution of the state
before the TMJ alteration. This is often unrealistic, and requires a careful and precise medical information, but also
systematic and controlled procedures.
In these 3 days of the seminar, the participants will learn all physiological and pathological aspects of the TMJ, furthermore
the essential diagnostic procedures including the Condylogram and MRI, also the treatment indications,
the therapeutical principles and strategies and finally the scientific background in form of a literature overview.
