Before we change the teeth, we must understand the foundation they depend on. The temporomandibular joints influence occlusion, muscle comfort, mandibular movement, restorative predictability, orthodontic stability, implant planning, equilibration, and long-term success. Yet many joint problems are quiet, subtle, or hidden behind familiar findings such as wear, fractures, bite changes, muscle tension, headaches, or joint sounds.

This 3-hour course will guide dentists through a clearer, more organized approach to TMJ diagnosis in the restorative practice. The course will review healthy joint function, signs of instability, and the diagnostic information gathered through patient history, clinical examination, clinical testing, and imaging.

By connecting these findings into meaningful diagnostic categories, doctors will be better prepared to recognize when the joint foundation appears stable, unstable, or in need of further evaluation before definitive treatment begins.
