BIOGRAPHY

 

Lawrence Gottesman, D.D.S., received his dental education at NY University College of Dentistry, graduating in 1977 and maintains a private practice in Rockville Centre, NY.


Dr. Gottesman has served on the teaching faculty of the Lenox Hill Hospital Dental Service
and has also been on the faculty of the NY University College of Dentistry TMD/Orofacial Pain program where he served as Director of Neuropathic Pain in the Advanced Orofacial Pain/TMD Graduate teaching program.

 
Together with Dr. G. William Arnett and Dr. Stephen B. Milam, Dr. Gottesman has co-authored the acclaimed two-part article, “Progressive Mandibular Retrusion— Idiopathic Condylar Resorption” which was published in the American Journal of Orthodontics in July and August of 1996.

 

Dr. Gottesman's most recent publications in the November and December, 2014 issues of Dentistry Today, entitled, "TMD Rediscovered: A New Paradigm, Parts I and II" has set a new industry standard for understanding how temporomandibular joint disorders are linked to infections and hemostatic abnormalities.

Lectures


I have lectured locally and nationally on the subjects of facial pain, TMD, the sensorimotor control system, muscle spindles and their role in function and occlusion, occlusion, periodontal mechanoreceptors and reflex control of human jaw muscles, proprioception, neuromuscular incoordination, biomechanical cellular signaling, and TM joint splints. The topic of thrombophilia, osteonecrosis and co-infections is an area of special interest.

 

Currently, the identification of complement, immune and hemostatic system abnormalities in mediating orofacial pain syndromes through the kinin family as contributory to small-fiber sensory neuopathies has become central to my diagnostic investigation and therapeutic approach.
