Let’s sink our teeth into some knowledge! Welcome to the world of chewing and occasionally grinding your teeth in frustration. Have you ever wondered why your jaw clicks, why stress gives you headaches or how possibly chewing gum can be considered and extreme sport, this is the lecture for you. In this lecture we will decode the TMJ, discover the muscles of mastication and showcase the complicated infratemporal fossa. With plenty of bite sized clinical correlates you will never think of opening your mouth the same way again!

These presentations will showcase how anatomical layers contribute not only to stability and movement but also holds the key to understanding various musculoskeletal dysfunctions. Participants will depart with a newfound depth of knowledge in the fundamental components of the human body.

Enhancing the experience, exclusive cadaveric images will be showcased offering attendees a visual journey into the anatomical intricacies of the human body.
