Description
This comprehensive full-day course is designed specifically for Dentists and Oral Health Therapists to expand their clinical skills and confidence in identifying and managing common oral medicine conditions within their scope of practice. Delivered by an expert in the field, this course will provide a case-based approach to the screening, diagnosis and management of temporomandibular disorders (TMD), orofacial pain, bruxism, oral mucosal pathology, and snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in dental practice. Also, attendees will learn how to utilise artificial intelligence to assist with the diagnosis and management of common oral medicine conditions. This course bridges theory and practice, enabling Dentists and Oral Health Therapists to play a vital role in early detection, intervention, and interprofessional care for oral medicine cases in clinical practice. |
Learning objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Recognise key clinical features for the diagnosis and management of temporomandibular disorders.
- Understand risk factors, clinical presentation and management of bruxism.
- Screen patients for risk factors and clinical features of OSA and understand referral pathways for diagnosis and treatment.
- Identify common and potentially serious oral mucosal pathology and understand referral protocols.
- Apply Artificial Intelligence to Oral Medicine so you might never have to enrol in another oral medicine course!
