– Reactive arthritis
– Injuries
– Tumors
– TMJ ankylosis
– Craniofacial deformities
– Upper airway obstruction and sleep apnea.- Lesson 1. Occlusal plane and orthognathic surgery
- Lesson 2. Maxillary osteotomy. Improving nasal breathing
- Lesson 3. Surgery first approach. Surgical change of the occlusal plane
