Seminar Outline

Dear Colleagues,

I am very excited for our annual November seminar in St. Petersburg, Florida. Last year’s well attended meeting served as a springboard for what we have planned for this year. Expanding on the Face First philosophy, we will delve deep into patient cases to illustrate diagnostic and treatment concepts for patients of any age with TMJ and airway pathology.

Specifically, each case will take us through:
1. History acquisition
2. Physical exam techniques
3. MRI and CBCT Imaging and Anatomy
4. Diagnostic labels for use in treatment algorithms
5. Surgical and non-surgical treatment options
6. Post and pre-surgical occlusion management
7. Occlusal orthotics
8. Post treatment care

Pertinent medical and dental literature will be reviewed in each case and balanced with clinical experience. By the end of this weekend, you should have a solid framework to add to your practice when treating patients of all ages with airway pathology, TMD and TMJ pathology, dentofacial deformities and malocclusions. Most often these diagnoses are not mutually exclusive!
