Craniomandibular and Musculoskeletal Medicine for dentists

and specialists in general medicine

In the individual disciplines of dentistry as well as general medi-

cine, knowledge and specialization are constantly increasing. At the

interface of the individual specialist areas, the Master’s program

combines this knowledge of dentistry with manual and osteopathic

medicine.

The two-year course provides profound knowledge about diagno-

sis and therapy of CMD and is further more orientated towards the

examination of the entire musculoskeletal system.

The focus is drawn on modern treatment concepts in dentistry,

manual medicine and osteopathic medicine for immediate use in

practice.

The guidelines of the German Society for Musculoskeletal Medi-

cine (DGMSM) and the German Society for Osteopathic Medicine

(DGOM) are complied with.

Interdisciplinary networking and

internationally renowned lecturers

In a cooperation with the ZÄT-Info

and the Medical University of Inns-

bruck (Austria) renowned professors

and lecturers have developed curricula for

the postgraduate Master’s program.

The course is part-time and modular.

It is primarily carried out in Ostbevern

(near Münster,). The fi nal examination

will take place at the Medical University

of Innsbruck, and is supposed to end with

the Master of Dental Science in Cranio-

mandibular and Musculoskeletal Medi-

cine.

Comprehensive diagnosis and targeted treatment of CMD

• Cooperation with the German Society for Musculoskeletal Medicine

(DGMSM) and the German Society for Osteopathic Medicine (DGOM)

Personal success with proven and tested therapies: two years that pay off!

Nowadays many dentists are con-

fronted with treatment situations they

are often not prepared for: Cranioman-

dibular and musculoskeletal Dysfunc-

tions.

Patients with CMD require a compre-

hensive treatment concept that com-

bines elements of all disciplines: dentistry,

manual medicine and osteopathic medicine.

Accordingly university lecturers and experienced

practitioners from various individual disciplines have

developed a master’s course to bridge this knowledge gap

and provides proven and tested treatment concepts.

The course offers professionally and scientifi cally founded further

training in craniomandibular and musculoskeletal medicine at

expert level.

The entire range of the specialist fi eld and all relevant aspects of

related disciplines are taken into account. Particular attention is

paid to interdisciplinary cooperation between dentists, orthodon-

tists, orthopaedists, osteopaths, dental technicians and physiother-

apists as well as the practical implementation of what has been

learned with numerous intensive training courses.

For those who graduate with a Master of Dental Science will thus

have the opportunity to open up new fi elds of treatment for their

practice, gain confi dence in the treatment of craniomandibular

dysfunction and record their specialization.

The course: Modular and compact.

As an extra-occupational two-year course of study, special atten-

tion is paid to the compatibility of study and career when design-

ing the course offerings.

A clear focus has therefore been placed on

practice. In compact learning modules, the

knowledge of diagnostics and therapeutic

techniques is practically conveyed and inten-

sively trained. Some cases of the students are

also discussed.

The theoretical knowledge is to be prepared

off-campus online via the e-learning plat-

form and can be completed conveniently from home. Thus fewer

practice days are lost.

The presence instruction of the on Campus modules takes place

blocked on weekends in the ZÄT info Informations- und Fortbi-

ldungsgesellschaft für Zahnheilkunde GmbH, Ostbevern, Mün-

ster. A summer seminar and the fi nal examination are held at the

Medical University of Innsbruck.

At the end of the Master‘s program, we asked the students for an assess-

ment of their studies. We also asked for motivation „Why did you take the

Master‘s program in Craniomandibular and Musculoskeletal Medicine?“

We have collected some statements for you.

Feedback Voices from graduates


Dr Uta Seydewitz MDSc, dentist, Dresden:

Motivation “CMD is an interdisciplinary disease with an unfortunately in-

creasing tendency. The dentist is the doctor who is most challenged to make

the right diagnosis.“

Benefi t “The Master‘s course enables me to expand my knowledge of

other medical specialties such as orthopaedics, manual medicine, psy-

chology.”

Mirjana Maria Eberl MDSc, MSc, dentist, Eichenau:

Motivation “I wanted to gain deeper knowledge about the craniomandibular

system and its effect on the musculoskeletal system.“

Benefi t „More safety in the prosthetic practice, additional qualifi cation

and referral structure with colleagues.“

Dr Bettina Kerler M.D.Sc., orthodontic specialist, Unterhaching:

Motivation “To intensify therapy and diagnosis and keep up with the current

state of science.“

Benefi t “The quality of the treatment has improved considerably as a

result.“

Riema Abdunnur MDSc, dentist, Bochum:

Motivation “I have been interested in the fi eld of craniomandibular dysfunc-

tion since I wrote my postgraduate diploma thesis on the topic of „myofas-

cial trigger points“ (2004). Since this important and indispensable branch of

dentistry was unfortunately not so well known in my home country Syria,

many patients could not be professionally helped there. This fact made me

want to expand my knowledge in this fi eld.“

Benefi t “The CMM course offers a unique opportunity to learn the connec-

tions between the medical fi elds relevant to CMD and their structured treatment

methods in the MKG fi eld. This saves the desperate CMD patients the long and

tedious journey between the various specialties and shows them clear paths to

recovery“


Dipl-Stom Tom Friedrichs MDSc, dentist, Dresden:

Motivation “From the perspective of a trained prosthodontist, he has been working intensively for almost

20 years on the diagnosis and therapy of craniomandibular dysfunction to make prosthetics work better“

Benefi t “Above all the interdisciplinary medical aspect, which is regularly neglected in dental educa-

tion and training, has perfected and rounded off my knowledge.”


The Medical University of Innsbruck is a young research

institution with a long tradition. It has been founded 1669

by Leopold, the Austrian Emperor (hence Leopold Franzens

University).

It was one of the founding faculties (Philosophy 1669, fac-

ulty of Law 1670, faculty of Theology 1670, faculty of Med-

icine 1674). In its almost 340-year history, it has always

been one of the most important fl agships of the university.
