This is an opportunity for medical and dental clinicians, researchers, and allied health care professionals to become more aware of the often baffling clinical signs and symptoms of TMJ in children.  By understanding the markers in children, subtle changes leading to adult TMJ disorders will be better understood or prevented.  You will benefit from the experience of clinicians involved in children’s oral and craniofacial health and wellness who will discuss signs, symptoms, and treatment in actual clinical cases.
