Les 23 et 24 août 2024, la Faculté de Médecine Dentaire de l’Université de Kinshasa a organisé avec succès le troisième module de formation continue en Chirurgie orale et Maxillo-faciale, sous le haut patronage du Recteur, le Professeur Jean-Marie KAYEMBE NTUMBA. Cet événement s’est tenu dans la salle Monekosso et s’est clôturé dans la Bibliothèque numérique de la faculté, marquant une étape importante dans la mise à jour des connaissances des médecins dentistes.
This training targeted several key areas, including:

1. Management of myofascial pain syndrome of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) using the arthrocentesis technique.
2. Management of medical emergencies in dental practice.
3. Ingénierie orale maxillo-faciale, avec un accent sur l’interprétation des clichés.
More than ten renowned instructors contributed to this event, including Professor Fidèle NYIMI. He focused particularly on emergency management, exploring the scores and rules of the 4D in CHOMAX, while also addressing pitfalls and appropriate actions in critical situations.

The closing ceremony was marked by three interactive workshops that allowed participants from all provinces of the country to put into practice the skills acquired:

1. Workshop on the management of cardio-respiratory emergencies in dental practice,** where practitioners were able to share experiences and strategies.

2. Temporomandibular Joint Arthrocentesis Workshop,** focused on the application of this essential technique for the treatment of myofacial pain.

3. PRF and i-PRF membrane synthesis workshop, dedicated to the management of myofacial pain syndrome, offering an innovative approach to improve clinical outcomes.

This event not only strengthened the skills of the participants, but also fostered a network of collaboration between dental health professionals.
