COURSE DETAILS
After dental pain, TMDs are the most common cause of orofacial pain. Various studies have shown that TMD affects 10%−15% of the adult population. To effectively treat patients with TMD, we must first be able to diagnose the root of their pain accurately and then predictably treat them.
