- **Event Description**: Complex TMD/TMJD presentations often extend far beyond localized jaw pain, involving overlapping cervical dysfunction, headaches, chronic tension patterns, nervous system sensitization, stress-related contributors, and evolving patient responses to care. Through detailed real-world cases, this session examines the clinical reasoning process behind assessment, treatment progression, adaptation, communication, and interdisciplinary collaboration in complex patients. Emphasis will be placed on navigating uncertainty, responding to treatment variability, and balancing evidence-informed care with individualized patient-centered decision-making.
