Description: This two-day program is designed to provide the participant with an anatomical review of the dynamic masticatory system and contiguous structures. The first day will have a lecture, with areas of emphasis to include osteology, the oral cavity, the nasal cavity, salivary glands, musculature, and the temporomandibular joint. Relationships to routine dental assessment and differential diagnosis of orofacial pain will be highlighted on the second day, at which there will be a dissection of a cadaver specimen and limited attendance.
Learning objectives:
- Review basic anatomical relationships which are key to a detailed examination of the dental patient
- Be involved in discussion relating to temporomandibular joint health and pathofunction
- Understand various subgroups of masticatory muscle disorders
- Review anatomical factors relating to glandular, neural, and vascular pain that may mimic odontogenic or temporomandibular-related conditions
- Review basic principles of diagnostic and treatment anesthetic procedures
