Joint Based Occlusion, Airway, and Facial Pain
Friday October 28, 2022 (8:00 am – 5:00 pm)
This course will include a structural basis for malocclusion, airway, and facial pain disorders. Materials that Dr. Piper and Dr. Dawson have developed in preparation for their textbook on the integration of joint based malocclusion, joint based airway, and facial pain mapping will be previewed.
Attendees will learn how to assess the facial profile and the static and dynamic occlusion to screen for joint based abnormalities that are a root cause of unstable occlusion and progressive airway compromise. Didactic material will include the acquisition and interpretation of CBCT and MR scans to evaluate for growth defects and degenerative disorders of the facial skeleton. Extensive clinical examples will demonstrate when the joint foundation is unstable and how to manage a non-adapted occlusion.
The Oropharyngeal Endoskeleton will be presented as the starting point to better understand altered airways. Participants will learn how to measure airway volume with CBCT and why abnormalities in the joint foundation and the cervical spine cause airway problems. Discussion will include an evaluation of which joints are candidates for advancement appliances and which are at risk for structural breakdown.
Facial pain layers will be reviewed with a focus on the mapping of pain related to altered joint foundations and malocclusion. Special emphasis will be placed upon recognizing and treating joint, muscle, sympathetic, and cervical pain layers.
Learning Objectives:
- Assess the facial profile and the occlusion to know when a patient has a joint disorder.
- Know what to look for in CBCT and MR imaging to understand how the foundation of the joint is altered and how to know whether it is unstable.
- Understand how the cervical spine and the facial skeleton impact the dimension of the oropharyngeal vault and oropharyngeal airway.
- Appreciate when it is safe to perform occlusal management or airway appliances in patients with a structural basis for sleep disordered breathing.
- Develop insight into the mapping of facial pain.
