Course Goals and Objectives:
Treatment plans usually include: pharmacolgical managment, appliance therapy, physical therapy, surgical therapy (injections) and home care.
Various orofacial pain disorders like trigeminal neuralgia and trigeminal neuropathic pain may manifest in the intra-oral region and replicate odontogenic pain complaints. These disorders may be peripherally and/or centrally mediated and should be ruled out in order to avoid incorrect diagnoses and unnecessary treatments. Current evidence based diagnosis and treatment protocols will be discussed for these complex disorders.
Objectives:
To conduct a thorough orofacial pain consult.
To become familiar with various orofacial pain disorders that mimic pain of odontogenic origin.
To be able to differentially diagnose between trigeminal neuralgia, trigeminal neuropathic pain, myofascial pain syndrome, and atypical facial pain.
To be able to treat these various orofacial pain disorders.
