TMJ Fellowship

Microdisk TMJ Fellowship Course with Dr Miles Poor

Join the premier course on learning to manage the TMJ patient in a safe and predictable fashion. Four experts – Dr Miles Poor (Course director), Dr Simonas Grybauskas, Dr Mindaugas Stacevičius and Mantas Vaitiekūnas (medical engineer) – will be there to share 40 years of successful interventions and outcomes in managing TMJ patients from a surgical standpoint.

“While we can’t promise that all your cases will have perfect outcomes (these are facial pain patients after all) we do want to show you that moving these patients along their disease course without harming them will leave you much more comfortable treating these difficult cases. We are not going to give you lists of articles to substantiate our presentations. We all have access to literature reviews on the subject. We are here to share 40 years of successful interventions and outcomes managing the TMJ patient from a surgical standpoint.

We hope you will develop a keen interest in helping this complex group of patients and help train the next generation of Micro Disc Surgeons.”
