TPHG1: Anatomy of the Masticatory System: Clinical Application and Dissection
This program will be a limited attendance detailed dissection of the superficial structures of the face, the masticatory musculature, and the temporomandibular joint. Relationships to routine dental assessment and clinical procedures will be highlighted. Participants in the 1 day dissection workshop will work in 2-member groups, each group dissecting of a provided cadaver specimen. Basic dissection instruments will be provided. It is strongly suggested that each workshop participant bring a head and neck anatomy atlas/text, and surgical instruments if desired.
