COURSE DESCRIPTION/ EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

It is extremely important to be able to recognize the patient who has a TMJ problem upon presentation to your office. Once identified, these patients require advanced diagnostics, specifically, MRI to determine if the jaw joints are stable enough to support and sustain any proposed dental work.
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, (CRPS) is a horrible disease entity that can affect any part of the body and any organ of the body. It is essentially a disease of the sympathetic component of the central nervous system. This disease is well documented in the medical literature dating back over one hundred and fifty years.                                                         
Early diagnosis and treatment of this disease is critical to minimize the presenting symptoms and to prevent their spread to other parts of the body. There is no cure for CRPS. The Dentist can play a crucial role in the early diagnosis and treatment of this debilitating disease.
