A FOUNDATIONAL GUIDE TO TMD & SLEEP APNOEA

The foundation to successfully treat patients with TMD/sleep apnea issues will be addressed in this hands-on program with Professor Michael Stubbs.

This program will teach participants to gather diagnostic information, analyse risk factors, and form a cohesive treatment plan under the direction of an experienced practitioner. Learn the principles behind simple and moderately complex treatment planning, including the appropriate occlusal orthotic devices for complete patient care. In this course, you will have online access that can be viewed in your own time as well as hands-on learning components. More information will be provided at purchase to prepare your personalised case tutorial and case discussion with template direction allowing one on one feedback.
