COURSE OBJECTIVES

Orofacial Pain is an emerging area of specialization in dentistry. No
matter what type of dentistry we perform, we cannot avoid the fact that
as dentist we deal with pain on a daily basis. In most cases our
responsibility is to eliminate or minimize our patients’ discomfort.
However, as dentists, due to the types of procedures we perform, our
treatment often results in tissue damage and post treatment pain. While
most patients recover with no adverse problems, some do not.

This course will discuss pain in dentistry. It will discuss pain
mechanisms_ and explore various chronic pain syndromes that often
present to the dental practitioner mimicking dental disorders, i.e.,
dental pain of non odontogenic origin. Diagnostic and treatment
strategies will be discussed. Case presentations from the participants
are encouraged.

The goal of this program will be to increase diagnostic skills and learn
what treatment is necessary or when no treatment is recommended.
