Oral and Maxillofacial Radiologist, BDS, DMSc
Dr. Dania Tamimi graduated with a dental degree from King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. She trained at Harvard School of Dental Medicine and earned a doctorate of medical science (DMSc) and certificate of fellowship in Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology in 2005. She is board certified by the American Certifying Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology (ACBOMR) and is a Fellow of the International College of Dentists and the Pierre Fauchard Academy.
She is a reviewer and an Editorial Board member for Oral Surgery, Oral Pathology, Oral Medicine and Oral Radiology (OOOO), as well as a reviewer for DMFR, Oral Radiology, Head and Neck, Angle Orthodontist and AJO-DO. She is the lead author on two textbooks: “Specialty Imaging: Dental Implants” (which has been translated to Portuguese and Russian) and “Specialty Imaging: Temporomandibular Joint and Sleep-Disordered Breathing” (translated to Chinese and Spanish) and a co-lead author on “Diagnostic Imaging, Oral and Maxillofacial” (translated to Spanish). She lectures nationally and internationally.
She currently runs her oral and maxillofacial radiology private practice in Orlando, Florida.
Oral and Maxillofacial radiologist, yoga for PTSD instructor, curious mind, world traveler and, most importantly, mother.
An insightful look at how a specialist actually thinks through a volume, from a radiologist who has spent more than two decades teaching clinicians around the world.
Master the systematic method for evaluating patients with both temporomandibular dysfunction and sleep-disordered breathing using radiographic anatomy and functional assessment techniques.
Analyze facial asymmetry patterns to their craniofacial origin (mandibular, maxillary, or skull base), diagnose CR-CO discrepancies, and understand how CBCT findings inform orthodontic and orthopedic treatment options including osteopathic partnerships.
Master the practical protocols for scanning the complete craniofacial complex, including proper patient positioning, TMJ maximum intercuspation positioning, field of view selection, and interpretation of how TMJ, occlusion, and airway relationships interact systemically.
Identify pathologic risk factors for sleep-disordered breathing through airway morphology assessment, nasal cavity and sinus evaluation, measurement protocols, and recognition of how anatomic variations predict breathing dysfunction.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a unique structure as it is the only diarthroidal synovial join in the body. It is continuously loaded, even when not functioning, and needs to be biomechanically sound in order to withstand the high mechanical loading that it is subject due during function. This article will discuss the anatomy and function...
