Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ) remain one of the most complex and frequently misunderstood conditions affecting dental patients today. For clinicians, staying current on diagnosis, biomechanics, and treatment approaches is essential to delivering lasting relief and improved quality of life.
TMJ Series – Part II is a Continuing Education lecture designed for dental professionals who want to deepen their understanding of advanced TMJ treatment strategies and clinical applications.
Continuing Education Lecture Overview
This in-person CE course builds on foundational TMJ concepts and explores advanced strategies for managing chronic jaw pain, facial tension, and headaches. The lecture emphasizes real-world clinical insight, interdisciplinary thinking, and patient-centered outcomes.
Attendees will gain practical knowledge that can be applied immediately in practice to help patients regain comfort, balance, and overall quality of life.
CE Credits:
2 Continuing Education Credits
Featured Lecturer
Dr. David S. Frey, DDS
Dr. Frey is widely recognized for his clinical work in TMJ treatment and complex occlusal cases. With decades of hands-on experience, he brings a practical, evidence-based approach to understanding jaw position, muscle dynamics, and functional balance to support long-term patient outcomes.
What You’ll Learn
This lecture is designed to move beyond surface-level TMJ education and focus on clinical insights that help dental professionals better diagnose, treat, and manage TMJ-related disorders. Attendees will walk away with a deeper understanding of how jaw mechanics, muscle function, and occlusion interact and how these factors influence long-term patient outcomes.
- Advanced TMJ treatment strategies for chronic jaw pain and facial tension
Learn how to evaluate complex TMJ cases and apply advanced treatment approaches that address underlying functional imbalances rather than just managing symptoms. - Clinical insight into TMJ-related headaches and muscular dysfunction
Understand how TMJ disorders contribute to headaches, facial pain, and muscle tension, and how targeted treatment can reduce chronic discomfort and improve patient quality of life. - The relationship between jaw balance, occlusion, and patient comfort
Explore how occlusal imbalances and jaw positioning affect muscle strain, joint stress, and overall function, and why restoring balance is critical for lasting results. - Practical considerations for incorporating TMJ and occlusal therapy into treatment planning
Gain actionable guidance on integrating TMJ evaluation and occlusal therapy into everyday dental practice, including patient assessment, case selection, and long-term care planning.

Who Should Attend
This Continuing Education lecture is designed for dental professionals who want to deepen their clinical understanding of TMJ disorders and improve patient outcomes through more precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
- General dentists and dental specialists who routinely encounter patients with jaw pain, headaches, facial discomfort, or occlusal concerns and want more advanced clinical insight
- Dental professionals interested in TMJ and occlusal therapy who are looking to strengthen their understanding of jaw mechanics, muscle function, and bite balance
- Providers seeking CE credits with immediate clinical relevance, especially those who value practical education that can be applied directly to patient care
- Clinicians aiming to expand their diagnostic and treatment approach to TMJ disorders, including complex or chronic cases that have not responded to traditional treatment methods
TMJ disorders often impact far more than the jaw, influencing sleep quality, facial comfort, posture, and overall patient well-being. TMJ Series – Part II offers a focused opportunity to advance your clinical expertise while earning CE credits in a professional, in-person setting.
Early registration is encouraged due to limited availability.
