Online CNO1 Course Features
Course Overview
Measured Matters get the bite right!
2 VERSIONS are available. The 2023 CNO1 is the most recent and recommended version. It is worth 14.5 AGD PACE credits. The 2021 version was released during COVID, and is worth 11 AGD PACE credit hours. Both versions feature Dr. Yiannios and Mr. Radke. CNO1 is an intense introduction as to how the joints relate to the occlusion, and how objective metrics can be used to study and potentially improve the occlusion. The ESSENTIAL, CORE COURSE of the CNO curriculum per testimonials from past attendees, both GPs & specialists alike. Includes advanced instruction on usage of the T-Scan®, BioEMG®, and JVA, and an introduction to MRI and CBCT imaging technologies. Faculty: Nick Yiannios DDS, MCNO and John Radke BS, MBA (engineer and Bioresearch technology creator). FINALLY: a course that objectively measures both the occlusion and the TMJs using digital metrics! Essential for everyday practice as well as for TMJ/D diagnostics and potential treatment decisions.
CNO1 ONLINE CE
11 AGD CE Hours CNO1 ’21 or 14.5 CE hours CNO1 ’23
A prerecorded version of CNO1 with GP Dr. Nick Yiannios & engineer, BioPak inventor, researcher, editor and author Mr. John Radke is now available online for streaming on demand, giving attendees a chance to study the didactic portion of CNO1 prior to future live CNO1 attendance. Although COVID for a time limited live attendance, we once again initiated a live CNO1 in 2023. The next live, in person, Rogers CNO Level 1 course date will be found under the “Course Schedule” tab by early 2024. Both versions of CNO1 proffer how to MEASURE the orthopedic TMJs’ role and how they both directly alter the occlusion, how to measure both the occlusion and the muscles of mastication digitally via advanced usage of the T-Scan and the BioEMG, the innacuracies of traditional occlusal “metrics”, Disclusion Time Reduction therapy training and efficacy, using Joint Vibration Analysis in everyday practice, and an introduction to objective 3D MRI and CBCT imaging of the TMJs. Think, “Joint-Joint-Teeth”; they are directly interrelated, and they can be readily MEASURED to improve diagnostic and treatment efficacy in dentistry. There is no better place to learn the research, didactics, and practical usage regarding digital biometrics than the CNO.
What You’ll Learn
Online Didactic Version
For in person Didactic & Hands-On; Take the LIVE Version
Why a MEASURED, TIMED, and IMMEDIATE anterior guidance development is essential for physiologically efficient muscular activity of the muscles of mastication, and how the orthopedic TMJs are both instrumental in occlusal stability, or lack thereof. How to predict the EFFICACY & PROGNOSIS of orthodontic and restorative therapies, predictably and objectively, using digital metrics. How to determine when digitally-directed occlusal adjustment therapies are indicated, and when they are not. Everyday restorative, dialed in and perfected, objectively; crowns, fillings, implants restorations, veneers… Eliminating cold sensitivity due to the bite; possible only with proper usage of the T-Scan. The ultimate training for advanced T-Scan, BioEMG, and Joint Vibration Analysis usage in everyday practice by a very experienced practicing dentist who has published many times in this realm, and the engineer who created the BioPak technologies himself, John Radke. Remember: Measured Matters!
The Online 2021 Course is worth 11 AGD PACE credit hours. The Online 2023 Course is worth 14.5 AGD PACE credit hours. Both courses have an integrated and simple online attendance exam which an attendee must pass with a score of >80% to earn the CE credits. All CNO courses keep track of ones position as one progresses, while simultaneously keeping track of the exam questions as well. Advise: take the online version to “pre-game” then come to a live version of CNO1 to really learn this material! Measured Matters!!
Required Reading: Chapters 1-7 & 10 are required reading for CNO Certification & to pass the FCNO certification exam (should the doctor chose to engage in Fellowship status within the org). Use coupon code CNOHOR at IGI checkout for a CNO student DISCOUNT!

TESTIMONIALS
What Patients Say
“Before the computerized bite alignment, my mouth was telling my brain that things weren’t right, but I didn’t know what to do about it. Several months after having gone through the treatment, I have nothing bad to say about it! If things keep going the way they are, I’m going to be a very happy person! The things that I’ve done w/ this disability… imagine what I’m going to do without it! I’m going to take over!” His case study: https://youtu.be/AWv-1-_JhKQ
Taner A Patient
Istanbul, Turkey
“Nobody in my area, not one dentist, could get my bite right. Every time I had dental work done, the bite was shifting all over to the point that I had teeth banging from my front teeth to my back teeth. Jaw pain, headaches in the back of my head, neck and shoulder pain; all of that has improved since getting my bite balanced to the way it was supposed to be!” Her case study: https://youtu.be/rJEN8CoqGTA
