Craniomandibular Rehabilitation

INTEGRATED

The morning of the first day of the Integrated-ENT and Maxillofacial course will be dedicated to introducing participants to the most commonly used occlusal splints for treating craniomandibular disorders. We will examine the role of the palate and demonstrate manual therapy techniques for this sensitive area of the mouth.

In the afternoon, we will explore signs and symptoms relating to the ear, nose and throat in patients with temporomandibular disorders, using simple, practical and effective assessment and therapeutic exercises. From the components of facial growth to the relationship between the TMJ and the hyoid bone, and how the voice or swallowing “works”, participants will be introduced to a broad collection of myofunctional therapy techniques (all of which are described in the literature).

The day will conclude with an in-depth look at tinnitus, particularly somatosensory and temporomandibular subtypes, how to identify them and rehabilitation approaches.

Starting on the morning of the second day, the most common maxillofacial surgery techniques used in the cranio-mandibular field will be presented. Participants will expand their knowledge of traumatic, oncological and orthognathic maxillofacial surgery. They will also learn about the rehabilitation protocols and techniques used in each situation.

, The afternoon will conclude with an in-depth look at the facial nerve and the issues that can cause facial paralysis. We will also introduce traditional and more innovative rehabilitation techniques, such as using emotions to help speed up recovery.
