What’s the purpose of the CNO?
To disseminate objective and reproducible knowledge and treatment protocols pertaining to occlusion (the bite), TMD, and the neurology involved between them. Removing as much subjectivity as possible, the CNO strives to arrive at a proper working diagnosis before implementing treatment, unlike many other traditional occlusal and TMD protocols that are used to treat occlusal and TMD conditions, which are typically lacking adequate diagnostics and quantifiable and reproducible endpoints regarding treatment.
