Craniofacial Pain and Pathofunction Series: Part I-Temporomandibular
Disorder: Current Concepts }
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Temporomandibular disorders represent a group of musculoskeletal conditions
that share common signs and symptoms. Identification of the specific
diagnostic entity involved in each case is essential prior to the development
of a case specific plan of management. Diagnosis of TMD may be extremely
challenging due to the complexity of sensory innervation of the head
and neck, the frequency of referred pain the region, and the uniqueness
of each individual's pain experience. Part I of this comprehensive series
will present general principles of examination, differential diagnosis,
and management of patients with TMD. Special emphasis will be placed
on the multifaceted aspects of a well-structured history taking process.
A sequential format for clinical examination of the temporomandibular
joints, head and neck musculature, and occlusal function will be described
in detail. Clinical characteristics and management considerations for
the various subgroups of intracapsular and extracapsular disorders will
be presented.
