CNO Level 4 – Online Webinar Format
A very deep dive into TMJ pathology, CNO4 is quite literally entitled, “TMJ Pathology Screening”, aka TPS. How and why the bilateral condition of the orthopedic TMJ morphology affects the occlusion, blood work, infectious pathology with the TMJs, nuclear medicine, and much, much more.
COURSES
Online Course Features
Certification Overview
TMJ Pathology Screening
Learn about nuclear medicine, blood screening to diagnose infectious disease processes of the TMJs, hormonal influences upon TMJ pathology, nuclear medicine diagnostics, and advanced digital jaw tracking and mastication analysis techniques which allows doctors to objectively track the kinesiology of the mandible, and how this all may affect the preoperative predictive efficacy of a patients’ comfort and function (or lack thereof).
CNO Level 4 Options & Faculty
18 CE Hours: online option
Prerecorded, online didactic lecture and interactive filming of BioPak technology usage: 18 CEUs. Completion of Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recommended prerequisites, but not required. Join Brazilian Oral Radiologist and TMJ specialist Dr. Marcelo Mattos, GP Dr. Nick Yiannios, and BioPak inventor and engineer Mr. John Radke on your journey searching for TMJ pathology answers via researched protocols that are literally not taught anywhere else (other than via streaming of CNO4) on the North American continent.
Onsite Lecture Coming Soon (likely 2023)! Onsite lecture: 3 days of lecture, observation, and participation in Rogers, AR at CNO headquarters. 24 CE Hours: onsite option 24 CEUs.
What You’ll Learn
Online Webinar/ On-site Lecture
TMJ imaging combined with blood work to objectively diagnose rheumatological and infectious issues of the orthopedic TMJs, giving the operator a plethora of new tools to identify confounding TMJ/D pathology. Thermal imaging and genetic mapping; two more powerful diagnostic tools to add to ones diagnostic skillset. TENS combined with MRI imaging to reverse an avascular necrosis (AVN) of the TMJ(s) in the right instance; it is possible!

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
