summary:
Oral movement disorders, jaw pain, and tooth wear are examples of clinical problems that are part of the dental discipline ‘oral kinesiology’. About half of the advanced postgraduate programme in oral kinesiology involves the diagnosis, indication, and management of patients with one or more oral kinesiologic problems. The remaining time is available for thematic courses and a research project. The breadth of the programme will hopefully lead to improved care for patients whose treatment until now has been dispersed between various dental specialists. Successful candidates will obtain anadvanced postgraduate diploma in Oral Kinesiology,and can also apply to be recognized as a gnathologist.
