My learning journey with bite splint therapy started in 2002 when I took the second level course at the Pankey Institute. . . this is a class that really tied some concepts together for me and gave me both a rationale and a method for helping patients with occlusal trauma (bite and\/or TMJ jaw joint distress). \u00a0What I had previously intuited was a fundamental understanding now became science, and my passion for creating comfort for others was ignited!<\/p>\n
It is a distinct honor to \u00a0have been asked\u00a0again –\u00a0\u00a0to be asked to teach the Essentials of Bite Splint Therapy at the Pankey Institute. \u00a0In July 2015, I along with two of my favorite people, George Platt of Little Rock and Mike Rolfes of Cincinnati, fulfilled the Pankey motto of Quid Pro Quo; giving back the learning to the continuous cycle of dentists who strive to make this profession more predictable, more\u00a0expansive, and more satisfying.<\/p>\n
