Diagnosis and Treatment of T.M.D. Patients

The course was hard work but extremely practical. Skip has a way of compartmentalizing things which make it easier to understand. Anyone interested in T.M.D. who wants a comprehensive oversight of how to diagnose and treat these often difficult patients will find the course more than helpful. I really enjoyed it. What a great way to spend a weekend! Philip J E Lang L.D.S. R.C.S. (England), M.G.D.S, R.C.S.(England)

Dr Truitt’s new classification system for T.M.D. greatly simplifies my diagnosis and treatment procedures. Once again a clear concise and comprehensive explanation and description of a complex clinical subject. Highly informative and instructive. Dr James Lewis M.O. USA
