Course on MRI Diagnostics of the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ)
My name is Alina Ayratovna Bikbulatova, and I am one of the creators of a unique course for dentists on diagnosing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction.
The correct approach to this problem requires coordinated teamwork between a neurologist, dentist, and MRI specialist, and we have gathered the best specialists to teach you this.
Once every 6 months, we assemble a team of the best dentists and neurologists for the benefit of our patients.
Upon completion of the course, we will gladly present a certificate of course completion!
This is a unique opportunity to deepen your knowledge and learn to see more in every image.
Patients often visit the dentist’s office with complaints that puzzle even experienced specialists. “Doctor, my jaw clicks when I chew “, “In the mornings, I can’t open my mouth wide “, “Face hurts, but teeth are fine ” – where is the source of this pain?
These symptoms are familiar to every practicing dentist. The root of the problem often lies in the temporomandibular joint, this complex mechanism that connects the skull to the lower jaw.
Imagine the articular disc—a cartilaginous plate between the bones. When it shifts or deforms, the notorious “Clicking jaw “. And inflammation in the joint capsule can cause pain that patients describe as “toothache in all teeth at once “.
MRI diagnostics of temporomandibular joint issues
MRI allows us to see these changes even before they lead to irreversible consequences. But here’s the paradox: upon receiving the image, many colleagues feel like first-year students facing a complex math problem.
The problem of temporomandibular joint dysfunction is complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach!
This will be very interesting!
