About

When providing oral appliance therapy (OAT), dentists are likely to encounter temporomandibular disorder (TMD) – whether it be new patients with a history or complaints that emerge during treatment. This workshop is designed to bridge the gap between sleep-focused care and effective TMD management.

This in-person comprehensive learning experience will help you recognize, evaluate, and treat TMD in the context of dental sleep medicine – so you can confidently care for patients managing both obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and TMD.


Workshop Highlights

  • 12-hour of online pre-recorded lectures that provide foundational and clinically practical knowledge on the relationship between oral appliances for OSA and TMD – covering everything from anatomy and pain science to treatment modalities and referral strategies.
  • 1.5-day in-person clinical workshop designed to elevate your clinical confidence, offering practical skills in physical examination, splint therapy, diagnostic imaging, patient assessment, and targeted therapeutic interventions.
  • 2-hour expert-guided exploration of pre-dissected cadaver specimens, offering insight into TMJ and OSA. Designed to deepen anatomical understanding, improve diagnostic confidence, and connect directly to clinical practice.
