This hands-on Core Curriculum course provides tools to treat complex dental cases using Physiologic Based Dentistry. Participants will learn to identify musculoskeletal signs of TMD, take and use a physiologic bite, construct physiologic orthotics, manage bruxism, design treatments to eliminate chronic pain, understand bite positions related to headache/neck/back pain, identify causes of malocclusion (including Class II & III), and integrate airway considerations into TMD care. The course includes the Tag Bite℠ hands-on workshop and practical preparation materials for specific campus locations. Visiting faculty present real-case applications to enable immediate implementation in practice.
