Temporomandibular Joint: How It Works, How It Gets Injured, How It Gets Fixed
Speaker: Leigh Kuhns, CRDH
Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) is one of the most complex – and often costly – dental‑related claims within the workers’ compensation system. This session breaks down what TMJ is, why it presents unique challenges and how it can impact recovery and claim outcomes when work‑related injuries are involved. Learners gain a clear understanding of the temporomandibular joint’s function, common workplace injury mechanisms and key signs and symptoms of TMJ disorder. The training also explores available treatment options and practical claims management approaches, helping professionals make more informed, coordinated decisions that support injured worker recovery and smarter care delivery.
