PRI Recommendations for a Right TMCC Pattern
If you have been to the Cervical Cranio Mandibular Restoration course you are aware of the recommended activity for limited opening of the jaw, hypermobility of the jaw, and anterior disc displacement. Most recently, we have updated these guidelines and added a new section titled, “PRI Recommendations for a Right TMCC Pattern”. These recommendations will help guide clinicians on teaching patients about tongue position while at rest to promote proper maxillary position. To learn more about the Right TMCC pattern please look at our Cervical Cranio Mandibular Restoration course (please note that in 2009 this course will be offered as an introductory course with no pre-requisite).
