8:00 am Opening Remarks & Announcements

8:15 am ROBERT JANKELSON, DDSThe Scientific & Clinical Basis of Neuromuscular OcclusionWhen is occlusion important in evaluation of the TMD patient? Always! Patient health and well-being is a continuousinterplay between adverse pathologic stressors and the patient’s accommodative (adaptive) mechanisms. Pathology and symptoms can occur when the stressors exceed the adaptive capacity of the patient. Malposition of the mandible to the cranium and pathologic signaling from occlusal prematurities are major contributors to signs and symptoms of TMD. The relationship between muscle, teeth and joints will be clearly defined. The scientific basis and clinical techniques of neuromuscular dentistry are designed to minimize occlusal stress and the need for muscle accommodation. The occlusal diagnostic and treatment protocols that assure optimal restoration of postural integrity,muscle health, and TMJ health will be demonstrated.

Upon completion, attendees should:1. Appreciate the importance of restoring general postural integrity, optimizing muscle function and restoring

joint relationships during phase I provisional diagnosis and treatment prior to phase II definitive restoration.2. Understand the use of TENS, EMG, ESG and computerized jaw tracking during diagnosis and treatment.3. Define the role of occlusal management in treatment of the TMD patient.4. Outline clear guidelines for occlusal equilibration versus occlusal orthosis therapy.

1:30 pm JAY W. GERBER, DDSOrthodontic & Prosthodontic Case FinishingDiscover the secrets to stable neuromuscular occlusion! While everyone today seems to have a ‘‘new’’ technique for finishing, Dr. Gerber will share time-tested ‘‘keys’’ to successful long-term occlusal stability that you may use immediately in your practice. In the process, he will illustrate the steps that he has used to treat orofacial pain patients for nearly thirty years. Discussion of cases treated with neuromuscular orthodontics and finished using orthodontics, fixed and removable prosthetics will be included.Upon completion, attendees should:1. Recognize the importance of correct jaw positioning to achieve neuromuscular balance.2. Realize why relapse has burdened orthodontics for years.3. Enhance their knowledge of progressive treatment steps to achieve neuromuscular balance.4. Appreciate the importance of maintaining functional stability.

7:00 am Registration & Lite Continental Breakfast

8:00 am REDA A. ABDEL-FATTAH, BDS, MS, MPSMedicolegal Considerations in Management of Temporomandibular Injury CasesManaging TMJ injury cases requires medical as well as legal knowledge. This presentation offers considerations in taking an adequate history and performing a thorough evaluation of these injury cases. In addition, selecting and ordering applicablediagnostic records and their interpretation will be stated. Managing the administrative legal aspect of the case, such as writing an effective report, rating permanent impairment and explaining the mechanism of injury, will also be presented.

Upon completion, attendees should:1. Enhance their understanding of how to perform an adequate clinical examination, including a specific health

history and history of the injury.2. Improve their ability to select and order appropriate testing for an injury case, and formulate a specific diagnosis.3. Increase their skills in writing effective injury case reports that include explanation of the mechanism of injury,

permanent impairment rating, future care listing and defense when necessary.

10:00 am Break

10:30 am GIORA PILLAR, MD, PhDObstructive Sleep Apnea: Overview & New Insights into the Pathophysiology & ComplicationsExtensive research during the recent decade has led to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of OSA syndrome, pointing out the combination of anatomical and physiological factors. Untreated OSA is associated with complications predominantly secondary to daytime sleepiness, endothelial dysfunction, increased oxidative stress andinflammation. Traditional treatment is based predominantly on CPAP, but there is emerging evidence for great successand the importance of dental treatment as well.

Upon completion, attendees should:1. Understand the pathophysiology of OSA.2. Identify various mechanisms leading to potential complications.3. Recognize advantages and disadvantages of various treatments for OSA.

1:00 pm Lunch (free for all registered attendees)

2:00 pm MARC R. PRITZKER, MDSleep & the HeartDr. Pritzker will discuss the intimate association between various forms of cardiovascular disease and sleep-disordered breathing. In addition, attendees will become familiar with the most recent theories regarding the evolutionof vascular disease – the “common ground” hypothesis – that links diverse forms of cardiovascular disease to common pathologic mechanisms.

Upon completion, attendees should:1. Identify various forms of sleep-disordered breathing.2. Identify disease states that may be caused or affected by sleep-disordered breathing.3. Identify various management strategies for vascular manifestations of sleep-disordered breathing.
