A TMJ click is one of the most common signs associated with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). However, the presence of a click alone is not sufficient to establish a diagnosis, let alone determine the appropriate treatment approach.
In clinical practice, it is essential to distinguish between a stable internal joint derangement and a potentially progressive condition that may require a more comprehensive diagnostic workup.
In this carousel, we review a clinical algorithm for evaluating patients who present with TMJ clicking, based on the concepts developed by Jeffrey Okeson — from history taking and functional assessment to identifying the clinical scenario and determining the next diagnostic and treatment steps.
If you are interested in occlusion, temporomandibular disorders, and orofacial pain, we invite you to continue learning with one of the world’s leading experts in this field.

❓ Why can the same patient receive completely different diagnoses from different clinicians?
A TMJ click. Joint pain. Limited mouth opening. Tooth pain with no obvious dental cause.
⚠️ Diagnostic errors can lead to unnecessary treatment, wasted time, and patient dissatisfaction with the outcome.
📚 On December 4–5, 2026, Dubai will host a seminar by Jeffrey P. Okeson, whose textbooks have been the foundation for learning occlusion, TMDs, and orofacial pain for dentists around the world for decades.
🔬 During this seminar, Professor Okeson will present the latest evidence-based diagnostic and treatment protocols, updated for 2026 and grounded in the most current clinical research.
After completing the program, you will be able to:
✅ identify the true source of pain with greater confidence
✅ select the most appropriate treatment strategy
✅ differentiate TMDs from other causes of facial pain
✅ recognize when intervention is indicated—and when referral to another specialist is the better option

A TMJ click. Joint pain. Limited mouth opening. Tooth pain with no obvious dental cause.
The symptoms may look similar, but the underlying causes can be entirely different. That is why the diagnosis of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and orofacial pain remains one of the most challenging areas in modern dentistry.

A randomized clinical trial by Kee-Joon Lee revealed an interesting finding: the rate of suture opening was nearly identical with both RPE and MARPE.
However, the real differences emerged in areas that are often evaluated less frequently in everyday practice:
This raises an important question:
Is the goal simply to achieve maxillary expansion—or to achieve it with the greatest biological safety and long-term stability?
Biomechanics, Miniscrews, and MARPE
Author-led seminar by Kee-Joon Lee
During this two-day program, Dr. Lee will share:
🔹 Contemporary protocols for maxillary expansion
🔹 Evidence-based appliance selection strategies
🔹 Clinical applications of miniscrews
🔹 Practical MARPE protocols for challenging orthodontic cases
🔹 Biomechanical principles behind predictable treatment outcomes

You understand the diagnosis. You know the treatment objectives. Yet controlling tooth movement in complex cases can still feel frustratingly inconsistent.
Unwanted side effects. Loss of anchorage. Difficult molar control. Miniscrews that fail. MARPE protocols that work in some patients but not in others.
The difference often isn’t the appliance—it’s the biomechanics behind it.
Join Prof. Kee-Joon Lee, one of the world’s leading experts in orthodontic biomechanics, MARPE, and skeletal anchorage, for an intensive two-day seminar:
Biomechanics, Miniscrews, and MARPE
This program goes far beyond textbook concepts and focuses on what truly matters in daily clinical practice: achieving predictable, stable, and efficient treatment outcomes.
During the seminar, you will learn:
✔️ Simplified biomechanics for precise incisor movement control✔️ Advanced strategies for molar movement and anchorage management✔️ Miniscrew placement protocols and complication prevention✔️ The biomechanical principles behind successful MARPE treatment✔️ Clinical application of MARPE for open bite, Class III malocclusion, and asymmetry cases
By the end of the course, you’ll have a clear biomechanical framework that will help you make better clinical decisions, minimize complications, and achieve more predictable results in even the most challenging cases.

🦷 Why do some intrabony defects remain stable for years, while others continue to lose periodontal support even after treatment?
Most clinicians are familiar with regenerative techniques. The greater challenge is knowing when regenerative surgery is truly indicated, selecting the right treatment protocol, and avoiding the clinical mistakes that can compromise long-term outcomes.
These are exactly the questions explored in the Advanced Seminar with Pierpaolo Cortellini—one of the world’s leading authorities in regenerative periodontal surgery.
📍 Florence, Italy
📅 October 15, 2026
During this course, you will gain an in-depth understanding of:
✔️ Selecting regenerative biomaterials and their clinical indications
✔️ Step-by-step surgical protocols for the treatment of intrabony defects
✔️ Management of interdental papillae and soft tissues for predictable clinical outcomes
✔️ Contemporary approaches to intrabony defect decontamination
✔️ Suturing techniques that influence wound stability and treatment success
✔️ Postoperative healing assessment and patient management
✔️ Complications, causes of treatment failure, and evidence-based prevention strategies
