It was statistically proven that load distribution via relatively simple arthroscopic lysis of adhesions, synovial impingement release, and reversal of chronic capsular fibrosis, followed by therapeutic lavage and appropriate physical therapy was sufficient to provide a 90-92% success rate providing return of functionality with significant pain reduction for patients documented with long term follow-up.

Furthermore, it was shown that, unless underlying biomechanical stressor issues were resolved following restoration of superior joint compartment mobilization enhancing subsequent load distribution, comfortable joint function would fail again having it’s its adaptive synovial responses overwhelmed. This resulted in a change in basic assumptions of therapeutic therapies involving facial-skeletal corrections diagnosed as contributing factors that required correction for these patients. It has been shown that over 38% of patients exhibiting TMD have concurrent skeletofacial deformities.

This course provides the Maxillofacial Surgeon with evidenced based rationale didactics and therapeutic methods for office based surgical-arthroscopic restoration of TM Joint function and hands-on fresh cadaver training with seasoned faculty.

The course encompasses 2 fully-packed days with focus upon hands-on laboratory cadaver experience using state-of-the-art arthroscopic equipment in this private practice schedule-friendly course. Included in the registration,

• (6 specimens/ per attendee/ per session: 3 cadaveric TMJ's per attendee as a primary surgeon and 3 cadaveric TMJ's as a first assistant.) (16 Certified CE Hours awarded).

•  With Mini-Residency = 18 total Cadaveric Specimens per attendee: 9 cadaveric TMJ's per attendee as primary surgeon and 9 cadaveric TMJ's as first assistant. (48 Certified CE Hours awarded along with Laser Safety Certification).

Further enhancing the participants' experiences, opportunity is given to the registrants to have personal assistance from faculty to monitor the incorporation of these techniques into their practices. They will have the opportunity to individually arrange faculty procedure-monitoring visits to their private practices and help coordinate with their physical therapists. 

Listen and learn while Dr. Moses, a certificated AAAHC Surveyor, explains why having your office convert to Achieving Ambulatory Surgery Center Accreditation will not only provide a return on all of your training and equipment investment but will make your patient’s care more affordable while improving your practice financial bottom line simultaneously. Each patient treatment will more than compensate your minimal investment in this practical education. Adding the office-based option for your reimbursed supply and facility only will enhance your economical advantage to provide your patients with safe and minimally invasive solutions for their TMJ dysfuntion predictably.
