Conference Objectives

The overall meeting objective is to organize a scientific conference exclusively dedicated to the TMJ, and to advance the field of TMJ research and strengthen the continuity among clinicians, scientists and bioengineers in this pursuit.

This overall objective will be addressed by the following specific objectives:

1. Provide recommendations to the NIDCR TMJD Program on novel scientific approaches and critical research topics that will advance the field.
2. Establish a benchmark for current treatments and scientific knowledge.
3. Bring outside perspective from experts in areas pertinent to TMJ research.
