My Jaw Hurts! What do I do?  An Overview of Orofacial Pain Disorders, Diagnosis and Management

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course will introduce the attendant to all aspects of orofacial pain. It will review the temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs): arthrogenous and myogenous disorders, internal derangements, and other uncommon joint conditions, as well as neuropathic and neurovascular conditions. This session will cover the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management of these orofacial pain disorders. In addition, this course will review the relationships between myogenous and arthrogenous disorders, non-odontogenic sources of toothache, headaches, and cervical pain. Dentists will learn how to easily differentiate between these orofacial conditions and implement medical, dental, pharmacologic and behavioral treatments. Clinical case studies will be presented to illustrate the treatment of the various TMDs. 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to:
• Recognize and diagnose patients with orofacial pain and dysfunction.

• Define the specific orofacial pain diagnoses. 
• Manage TMDs through non-pharmacological methods, including splint therapy, interventional therapy, and physical medicine.
