The ILAGD Mastertrack’s September program, “The Un-Holy Trinity of Function: A New Approach to the TMJ, Oro-Facial Pain, and Functional Occlusion, takes many of the current concepts in these somewhat confusing disciplines & organizes them in a way so that most practitioners can comfortably differentiate the etiology of occlusal disease, diagnose TMJ disorders, and predict long term success for the restored or non-restored dentition. Dr. Jeff Horowitz, DMD, FAGD the instructor for this program is a Kois Center Mentor. Orofacial Pain is one of the two new subject codes that became mandatory on Jan. 1, 2017, to be eligible for MAGD certification. This 2-day course hands on course at Henry Schein Dental in Elmhurst, IL helped the doctors differentiate between iatrogenic, foundational, and transient occlusal disorders, use diagnostic imaging and testing to aid in diagnosis, understand imaging and testing to aid in diagnosis, and provided tips, tools, and materials used within these disciplines. Friday night, the doctors socialized and networked at dinner at Francesca’s Amici in Elmhurst. Go to ILAGD.org for more information on our Mastertrack courses. Our next course is “Laser Dentistry from A to Z: An Academy of Laser Dentistry Standard Proficiency Certification Course on October 13-14, 2017 at Henry Schein in Elmhurst, IL.
