Vita

Jens Türp studied dentistry in Freiburg im Breisgau and was awarded a doctorate in dentistry for his “Surveys on dental health in Togo, West Africa”. Several years of work at the University of Michigan set the course for his professional career as a renowned specialist in jaw pain. His habilitation at the University of Freiburg was followed by a Master of Science in Complementary Health Sciences and a Master of Arts in Medical Ethics. As the founder of the working group for oral and facial pain in the German Pain Society, long-standing spokesman for the dentistry department in the German Network for Evidence-Based Medicine, author of over 600 publications and a popular speaker, he is a strong advocate of honest patient education and the use of evidence-based methods in dentistry (and beyond). Less arbitrariness, more science in patient treatment ? a topic that concerns everyone.

Topics

“Is that bad, doctor?” ?
Of cracking jaw joints and grinding teeth

  • Boh, that's loud! - Are jaw joint noises dangerous?
  • Oh dear, not noticed for years, and now this! - What to do with ground teeth?
  • Ouch, my jaw hurts! - Is it the bite?
  • Oweia, osteoarthritis of the temporomandibular joint on X-ray! - Is it all over now?

Among other things, the audience learns

  • that even seemingly dramatic symptoms in the jaw are often harmless normal variations; 
  • how a patient can be distinguished from machines in need of repair;
  • that the dentist who carries out the most comprehensive diagnostics is not always the best;
  • that a simple therapy is often the better treatment.

“My dentist recommends ...” - Myths and facts from dental practices

  • Straight teeth = more health - or just more beauty?
  • I read something on a website... - Can I trust this information?

Among other things, the audience will learn

  • Why teeth are so important to overall health;
  • that some of the dental information on the internet is not true; 
  • what is meant by “evidence-based medicine”;
  • how to obtain up-to-date and trustworthy information.
