Brock Rondeau, DDS, IBO, DABCP, D-ACSDD, DABDSM, DABCDSM, created this TMJ (temporomandibular joint) Health Questionnaire.
Rondeau says that prior to any dental procedure, including oral appliance therapy for snoring and sleep apnea, every patient should be given this TMJ Health Questionnaire. If the patient has numerous symptoms, then there is an increasing chance they may have TMJ dysfunction. Rondeau shares more information on establishing healthy TMJ prior to oral appliance therapy in a full-length article.
Rondeau is the owner of Rondeau Seminars, which provides dental continuing education. View the class schedule at www.rondeauseminars.com.
Great article about typical treatment of TM dysfunction (upper flat plane splints) that doesn’t help the situation. I wonder if Dr. Rondeau has recommendations of knowledgeable dentists in the Bay Area?
