DRY NEEDLING: TRIGGER POINT THERAPY for TMJ Dysfunction
By: Valentin C. Dones III, MSPT, PTRP, DMS, CMT
Dry Needling is a highly efficient manual therapy technique for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. The approach is based on Western anatomical and neurophysiological principles.Dry Needling involves the penetration of myofascial trigger points (MTrP) with a needle. The needle goes in and out theMTrP for several times, generating the muscle twitching response and makes it release. It is effective in dealing with myofascial pain and correcting the biomechanical dysfunction, normally with immediate and long lasting effect.

By: Stephanie Ann Balid, OTRP, MA Clinical Psychology
Orofacial pain presents a major medical and social problem.

The topic will enhance the understanding of multidisciplinary professionals on cognitive behavioral approaches that can help in managing pain experienced by patients with orofacial disorders. It will cover the fundamental variables in a cognitive behavioral model as well as discuss several recent studies done on psychological management to orofacial pain.
BIOFUNCTIONAL PROSTHETIC SYSTEM: RESTORING A NATURAL SMILE
By:Dr. Frankie S. Godalle
In the past decades the Biofunctional Prosthetic System has established itself as the standard of care in complete denture prosthetics. The success of system lies in the interplay of coordinated products, their correct use on the and the effective collaboration between dentist and dental technician. Among other things, the system comprises a range of tools (ex. articulators) to re-establish efficient chewing function as well as optimally coordinated materials (ex. Denture base resin materials) which allow the soft tissues to be reproduced and denture teeth to be joined.
“CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY” , The Missing Puzzle in Dentistry
By: Dr. Trinidad M. Roque-Arcilla
Craniosacral therapy can be thought as the missing puzzle in the efficacy of many dental procedures. As it expands our awareness beyond the mandible and maxilla, it provides a holistic awareness of the dental mechanism and the well being of the dental patient. Whether performed by the dentist, dental assistant or craniosacral therapies, the dental professionals and the patient alike immediately recognized the benefit. It offers the dental profession the ability to solve many instances of craniocervical pain and dysfunction. So, the dental professionals are in unique position to correct underlying anatomical and functional dysfunction that may have been seen or mistreated by other professionals.
