With the primary goal of imparting her knowledge and skills amongst oral health professionals to ultimately provide the best dental treatment to patients, Dr. Eillen Baque-Manalang founded the Craniodontic- TMJA and Dental Sleep Medicine Study Group Philippines. The group takes pride in being the first and true craniodontic study group in the world. And now, it is the first again to include Dental Engineering and Gnatholoigical Principle in Dentistry . The group’s exceptional training and workshops are the benchmarks that others try to duplicate but still to no avail.
This comprehensive portal, for dental professionals as well as the public, aims to spread information on craniodontics, craniofacial pain, craniomandibular dysfuntion, temporomandibular disorders, airways and dental related sleep disorders (OSA) adjoining it with the principle of orthodontic-orthopaedic treatment, chirodontics, gnathology, dental engineering and architectural principles for the benefit dentists and the patients alike.
