   Dr. Okeson will be presenting a Ski and Learn course in
Jackson Hole, Wyoming on March 19, 20, and 21, 2009.
The details are listed below.


       This course will present a sound, straight forward approach to treating
many masticatory pain problems. Emphasis will be placed on proper
diagnosis so that correct therapy can be selected for each patient. Principles
used to locate the site and source of pain will be presented. The role of
occlusion in TMD will be discussed in detail. Specific information will be
provided for the management of the two most common types of
temporomandibular disorders; masticatory muscle pain and intracapsular
TMJ pain.  


What You Will Learn:

•        To identify those pain disorders that will likely respond to your therapy
from those that will not.

•        The relationship between occlusion, bruxism and temporomandibular
disorders.

•        The most favorable condylar position for restorative dentistry and TMD.

•        To differentiate those cases that require orthodontic or restorative
procedures from those that do not.

•        When it is appropriate to consider surgical therapy for a patient.

•        Which headaches are best managed in the dental office and how to
successfully treat them.

•        The appropriate use of occlusal appliance therapy.
