The new guidance includes four standards for providers to follow, including conducting screenings, obtaining diagnostic imaging, making the correct diagnosis and beginning the least invasive, evidence-based nonsurgical or surgical treatment.

The guidance was written by members of the AAOMS Special Committee on Temporomandibular Joint Care and published in the June issue of the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
