Course Diagnosis and Classification of Temporomandibular Disorders (hr 14.00-18.00)
Lecturer Daniele Manfredini

Synopsis of the course
Temporomandibular Disorders have always been considered a complex group of diseases. The adoption of a medical model focused on biopsychosocial aspects represent the standard of care for the management of patients in the clinical setting. Nonetheless, there is the feeling that, even in the evidence-based era of abandon of the old occlusally-based complexities, current diagnostic and classification schemes are unnecessarily complicated and non user-friendly for clinicians. This course will show that the diagnosis and management of most TMD patients is relatively easy…if the clinician knows how to listen to the patient and how to fit the derived information within a management algorithm. As such, a simplified classification proposal aiming to ease the clinical approach to diagnosis and management as well as to attract non-expert practitioners to the fascinating world of TMDs will be provided.

Course Clinical Considerations of Orofacial Pain and the Non-Odontogenic Toothache (hr 9.30-17.30)
Lecturer Jeff Okeson

Synopsis of the Course
Differential diagnosis of orofacial pain is an extremely challenging aspect of the dental practice. The complexity of neural network involving the craniocervical region establishes an environment for much diagnostic confusion. Many conditions exist which may mimic masticatory and odontogenic pain. Appropriate treatment and/or referral are predicated upon accurate identification of these diseases, syndromes, and clinical conditions. This presentation will provide a review of current basic concepts of pain mechanisms, pathways, and referral pattern in the head and neck. Clinical presentations of conditions that commonly create diagnostic confusion will be discussed. A protocol for systematic evaluation, diagnostic testing, including diagnostic anesthesia, will be suggested. At the conclusion of this presentation, each participant should be able to understand common neuropathways that are responsible for orofacial pain as well as to recognize and differentiate common orofacial pain disorders that may clinically present as Temporomandibular Disorders.
