What happens when conservative care fails? What if you have prescribed patient education and the 'best' occlusal appliance and none of it is working? That's where surgery MAY be indicated for certain diagnoses. Listen or Watch my podcast with Professor Andrew Sidebottom Maxillofacial surgeon (who is limited to the management of TMJDs) to help us make timely and appropriate referrals to provide the best possible outcome for our patients.https://youtu.be/7m30jvUPlMANeed to Read it?

Probably about 90% of the patients I see down at that muscular end as you say.Jaz's Introduction:What happens to our TMD patients when conservative care fails? Like you've done your patient education, you've given him the best occlusal appliance, you've worked alongside your TMJ physiotherapist, you've been through exercises, and you've even counseled them about the importance of recognizing awake bruxism, a huge player, and all this stuff isn't working. What happens next? Well, depending on your diagnosis, the next step for some patients will be see a maxillofacial surgeon, but not any old maxillofacial surgeon, you ideally want to send someone who's got an interest in TMJ and TMD. So I've got today a private physician, private maxillofacial surgeon in the UK, who exclusively treats TMD. So what this guy doesn't know about surgery and TMJ. And what happens in the latter parts once conservative care fails, how the referrals manage, when should we refer these patients, which patients are suitable for referral to Maxfax, once conservative care fails. Let me give you a clue, if your primary diagnosis is muscular, then really, you know, really need to go and exhaust conservative care and the physio and by the way, most TMDS are of a muscular nature that myalgia and myofascial pain and there's no real scope for surgery when it comes to muscles that are upset. That's when we really to give the best conservative care we can and involve a pain specialist sometimes potentially Botox and lots more which we will discuss.

Understanding Anterior Occlusal Splints Part 2 – PDP055

More than one-third of patients are ideal candidates for occlusal splints due to bruxism, clenching or post-operative situations. In this video, Dr. Michael DiTolla discusses the ways in which the uncomfortable splints of the past have been replaced with patient friendly, comfortable soft/hard occlusal splints. Also discussed is how to take impressions for splints, bite splint fabrication, and bite splint delivery. Plus, Dr. DiTolla stresses the importance of early diagnosis of bruxing and clenching, one night of which Dr. Gordon Christensen equates to 100 days of normal wear.
