Craniomandibular Rehabilitation

BASE

On the first day of the BASIC course, after an introduction to anatomy and biomechanics, the pathophysiology of a craniomandibular disorder will be extensively discussed (with particular attention to the two most widespread conditions, namely disc dislocation and lock) and their evaluation.

The evaluation proposed in the course follows the indications of the Diagnostic Criteria for TMD, a validated and internationally recognized procedure, for which medical records, decision-making algorithm and tool for measuring mandibular movements will be delivered

The second day is instead dedicated to the fundamental relationships of the TMJ with the cervical spine and the mutual influences, with the skull and the most frequent symptom in TMD, headache.

Therapeutic exercises will be shown to be integrated into the patient's therapy, both in the presence of the therapist and as "Home treatment"

Ample emphasis will also be given to the communication and behavioral aspects to be implemented with the patient with temporomandibular disorder
