What it covers
In this first and introductory video lecture, Dr. Bender will discuss how to understand the various facets of orofacial pain by a medical and psycho-social point of view. The importance of specializing in the management of orofacial pain in an environment where so many patients visit different specialists unnecessarily before going to the right specialist will also be explained.
In particular, this lecture focuses on the following topics:
- The proper physical examination: nerves, muscle palpation and TMJ disorders
- TMD risk factors
- Palpation of the muscles to properly diagnose orofacial pain disorders
- How to understand how different people manage orofacial pain
- The relevance of quality sleep sessions
