Description

Orofacial and TMD pain has long demanded the attention of the medical and dental professions. When a physician or dentist is involved in this field, one begins to appreciate the fact that the purviews involved cross the manmade boundaries, since essentially, everything in the human body is connected in some way, shape or form. Nature knows no boundaries. Therefore, no medical professional would disagree that the treatment of orofacial and TMD pains often involves a multidisciplinary approach, which may readily cross the boundaries of the various health professions.   The Center for Neural Occlusion, or CNO, will cross these borders, with the intent of disseminating objective, quantifiable and evidence-based diagnostic and treatment protocols to the various professions. The vision intertwines dentists, physicians, chiropractors, naturopaths, physical therapists, researchers and health professionals of all types to come together and realize that there are objective ways to screen for aberrations in how the stomatognathic/masticatory functions, which can readily lead to confounding symptomatology including headaches, limited or irregular mandibular range of motion, trouble chewing, hypersensitive teeth and abstract “TMJ” problems for which there seems to be no definitive diagnosis nor definitive treatment plan. The possibilities include orthopedic, neurologic, inflammatory, vascular, hormonal, and occlusal issues that may all introduce layers into the patient’s perception of pain. Another extremely important parameter which the CNO will proffer that is consistently overlooked involves definitive quantification of the timing involved within the dynamic movements of the mandible, and how aberrations of this timing can adversely effect the health of the stomatognathic system. CNO will strive to set the standard for the objective, quantifiable and reproducible diagnosis of these maladies as well as the definitive treatment protocols necessary to address these issues.   The first introductory level, level 0, is a basic level designed for all health care professionals. Physicians, chiropractors, headache specialists, neurologists, physical therapists, dental laboratory technicians and others will learn to add the timing within the human bite and the condition of the TMJ structures as possible causative factors for the genesis of headaches, orofacial muscular pain, neck and shoulder tension, chronically hypersensitive teeth and other TMD-related symptoms. It will disseminate the fact that these parameters are objectively measurable and potentially treatable via modern, evidence-based digital modalities. This first level aims to spread knowledge and hope for health care providers who have looked at every other possible factor for a patients seemingly TMD related issues, other than aberrations in the timing of the bite and how this correlates with painful muscular sequelae .   Primarily for dental professionals, the next level, level 1, will proffer didactic information relating to the tempormandibular joints, the muscles of mastication, the teeth and the occlusion, and the basic neurology behind the dynamic stomatognathic living machine. Core to this level will be the introduction of various diagnostic technologies that actually measure various parameters within the dynamic stomatognathic system, as well as the information necessary to act upon the data gathered. Level 1 will culminate with a written examination, to test the student’s knowledge of what the CNO considers most important relative to orofacial pain and TMD diagnosis and treatment. Physicians and other medical professionals are welcome to study this material as well (to compliment level 0), and will leave armed with new knowledge as to how measurable aberrations within the dynamic occlusion can readily perpetuate chronic headaches, for instance, and how to treat it.   Level 2 will target dentists specifically, in that it’s primary purpose will be to initiate a practical exami
