Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to present our Fellowship in Temporomandibular Joint Surgery, which was developed to share our clinical and surgical expertise in this field.
Unlike other conventional courses, this fellowship will give participants the opportunity to gain hands-on experience by selecting patients for initial consultations, attending surgeries on selected patients in the operating theatre, and evaluating the outcomes of operations.
They will also have the chance to learn about and use all the modern technologies at our disposal, such as computer planning, simulation and navigation. They will also have the opportunity to practise on fresh cadaver specimens.
Finally, they will receive training in multidisciplinary conservative management, which is essential for patient care and the success of therapy. The faculty comprises friends and colleagues who are highly experienced in the field of the temporomandibular joint, and the arthroscopic session will be conducted under the patronage of the’Academy of TMJ Arthroscopy’.
For this reason, the fellowship is reserved for a small number of maxillofacial surgeons or residents in maxillofacial surgery, in order to facilitate continuous education and learning.
We look forward to welcoming you.
