Description
This presentation aims to shed light on an often-overlooked contributor to premature dental wear. Dental structure is more often lost due to wear than to decay. Many dentists are not fully equipped to identify, diagnose or manage the causes of this progressive condition.
Learning Objectives
- Identify the hidden causes behind premature aging and dental wear.
- Describe the evolving nature of the masticatory system.
- Recognize the signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disc displacement.
Alain Aubé, DMD, graduated from the University of Montreal Faculty of Dentistry in 1984. He embarked on a tailored multidisciplinary residency program with a special focus on full-mouth prosthodontics and orthognathic surgery. He pursued the full curriculum at the Dawson Academy. He was introduced to Dr. Piper and completed his program on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pathology. He maintains a full-time private referral practice exclusively focused on TMJ and occlusal problems and continues to teach and lecture intensively.
