History of the
W. G. Sutherland Temporomandibulo-Cranial Dental Group, Inc.
The W. G. Sutherland Temporomandibulo-Cranial Dental Group, Inc., had its first meeting in 1982, when we sponsored our first 40 hour basic dento-cranial course. This was under the auspices and guidance of our Osteopath benefactors: Dr. Herbert Miller and Dr. John Harakal. Both doctors were teaching faculty members of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine. These men headed a group of Cranially trained men who felt that Dr. Sutherland had a special interest in exposing dentists to his Cranial Concepts.
Since then, with our core members, we have expanded and now teach a basic 40 hour course and an advanced course 4 times a year. We have done this since 1982. The W. G. Sutherland Temporomandibulo-Cranial Dental Group, Inc. was incorporated in 1983. It is stated in the charter that we were formed to teach licensed dentists only and we have trained over 1000 dentists since 1982. At each meeting the basic 40 hour dento-cranial course is taught with individual attention given to the dentist student's level of knowledge and skill.
An advanced course is taught by either visiting osteopath physicians or our own facility members. We have an extensive video archive of the advanced courses that have been taught at the W. G. Sutherland Temporomandibulo-Cranial Dental Group, Inc. teaching facility (known as The Farm).
Many of the contemporary Masters of Osteopath: Doctors Herbert Miller, Thomas Schooley, Alan Becker, Neal Pruzzo, Robert Fulford, Paul Kimberly, James Jealous, Elliot P. Blackman, James Farley, Fred Mitchell, Paula Eschtruth, and Joseph Grasso have presented these programs for our group. Our videop archives can be viewed anytime when students visit our teaching facility.
