Comprehensive Training
Tscan

I have made it my professional quest over the last 32 years to accomplish the goal of really helping these people that are in that kind of pain


 
  • I trained under Dr. Irving Glickman at Tufts Dental School.
 
  • In the late 70’s I trained under Dr. Terry Tanaka and his group at Scripps Institute at La Jolla, California.
 
  • In the early 80’s I became associated with several Attorneys. I learned how to do depositions, court cases and write medical reports. I treated many accident cases and also teamed with chiropractors, physical therapists and Neurologists in these treatments. I carefully watched their treatment protocols and began to finally start to understand the connections that were involved that could really help people.
 
  • From there I embarked on an educational journey that would help me to understand how to apply those modalities into a successful TMD and Migraine treatment center.
   
  Along the way, in the mid 80’s, I started using the Tscan digital occlusion program made by Tekscan. I finally began to understand what proper occlusal therapy meant and its relationship to neuromuscular connections and their ultimate relationship to the occlusion.
   
 

Dr. Gordon Christensen says, The new paradigm shift in 3-D occlusion will be to identify stressed occlusions and develop treatment options that are conservative and preventive.


At age 18, the pattern is totally set and now you can predict how an occlusion will age and which teeth are taking all the force.  Understanding how the occlusion ages and the status of the current function is the initial step to a successful and predictable treatment plan.


The bite ages over the decades due to several factors: A person causes uneven wear by chewing more on one side than the other. Amalgams, composites, porcelain, gold all wear differently and also cause uneven wear of the opposing teeth. Add orthodontic problems to this mix and the wear increases even more. As the occlusion ages, the muscles of the head and neck are forced into a dysfunctional relationship. The joint systems follow along and eventually the TMJ condylar relationships are affected. Some individuals will be able to physiologically adapt over a lifetime, but most do not. Asymmetric function, over time, will stress the anatomical systems to the point of exacerbating their symptoms.
