Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) is a complex condition that often requires an interdisciplinary approach involving dentists, oral surgeons, physical therapists, and behavioral health professionals. However, many healthcare providers lack a clear understanding of the roles and responsibilities of these professionals in managing TMD, leading to fragmented care and suboptimal patient outcomes.
This course explores the collaborative roles involved in managing and treating patients with TMD through presentations and a panel discussion featuring specialists in oral medicine, oral surgery, physical therapy, and psychology. Participants will gain insight into the scope of practice for these key disciplines, learn when and how to make appropriate referrals, and identify their own needs for interdisciplinary coordination. By strengthening communication and referral practices, this program aims to support better patient care and outcomes for individuals with TMD.
