Acquire TMJ imaging protocols using modern methods such as CBCT and MRI from leading experts in the field: Mariano Rocabado, Lukas Lassmann and Kaan Orhan!
You will first learn the anatomy of the TMJ, as this topic is fundamental. Then, the lecturers will teach you:
– Diagnostic algorithms and stages of MR examination of the TMJ
– Dr. Mariano Rocabado’s CBCT protocols
– Diagnosis of pathologies such as сortical bone erosion, idiopathic condyle resorption, subcortical cysts, TMJ ankylosis, developmental defects of the TMJ, displacement of the disc.
This course will serve as your guide to modern TMJ imaging methods!
The OHI‑S CBCT and MRI of the TMJ: Everything You Need to Know course is best for prosthodontists, oral surgeons, orthodontists, and radiologists who want structured, training in imaging protocols for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) diagnosis and treatment planning. It emphasizes evidence‑based use of CBCT and MRI to evaluate joint anatomy, pathology, and function.
Who Should Enroll
- Prosthodontists managing occlusal rehabilitation and TMJ disorders in restorative cases.
- Oral & maxillofacial surgeons diagnosing and treating surgical TMJ conditions.
- Orthodontists integrating TMJ imaging into treatment planning for malocclusions and functional corrections.
- Radiologists & dental imaging specialists interpreting CBCT and MRI scans of the TMJ.
- Residents & fellows in prosthodontics, orthodontics, oral surgery, or radiology seeking structured TMJ imaging training.
What You’ll Learn
- CBCT protocols: indications, scanning techniques, and interpretation of bony structures.
- MRI protocols: soft tissue evaluation, disc position, and joint function analysis.
- Comparative imaging: when to use CBCT vs. MRI for specific TMJ conditions.
- Diagnostic accuracy: identifying pathology such as disc displacement, degenerative changes, and inflammatory conditions.
- Clinical integration: applying imaging findings to treatment planning and patient management.
- Case‑based lessons: real examples demonstrating CBCT and MRI use in TMJ diagnosis.
