Biofunctional Mandibular Dynamocs – Level 2

Hands-on ! A lot !!

1. Variables in mandibular dynamics
2. Bite registration techniques
3. Arthrokinematics
4. Biofunctional orthotic appliance
5. Biofunctional dynamics craniocervical equilibration
We will focus in TMJ pathology and differential diagnostic based on movement. You will learn how to create a Biofunctional Orthotic Appliance and understand the principle and its function!

DAY 1 / 12 Nov

1. Variables in mandibular dynamics

Influence of the cervical spine in mandibular movements
Mandibular Trajectories
Habitual Trajectory
Opening VDO using ( Human Body Dynamics)

2. Bite registration techniques

Cranio Bite
TENS Bite
Phonetic Bites : “s”, “f”, Sweet point
Swallow Bite
Bite Test Technique * Fast Reaction

3. Arthrokinematics

Based in all the fundamentals we learned in level 1 we will focus in Joint pathology and differential diagnostic based in movement. We will use cell phone to record and make an analysis

TMJ Anatomy
Pain mapping
Chronic
Acute ( look in Gerber’s book)
Congruent Surfaces
Airplanes

4. Biofunctional orthotic appliance

How to create a Biofunctional Orthotic Appliance
Understand the principle of the appliance and its function

/ HANDS ON

Attendants will need their own models to fabricate their own appliance.

Doctor Vasquez will be taking a bite on 1 attendant and will demonstrate how to mount the case, and how to fabricate the splint or appliance.
Instructions are described in the course package for the attendants on what to bring READY for the course.

Attendant will learn how to mount their case using occlusal tables, do a suck down on their lower blocked model and work the acrylic to fabricate the appliance based on their own bite.
