Description
Completely revised and updated, this new version of the AAOP Guidelines educates readers on the procedures of evidence-based assessment, diagnosis, and management of orofacial pain conditions based on the latest scientific knowledge. While the structure of the previous version has been maintained, this book offers evidence-based concepts where available and reflects many significant changes in the field of orofacial pain. For example, an entire chapter is now devoted to cervical disorders to emphasize the close relationships between some orofacial pain disorders and cervical pain disorders and to cast greater attention on their differences and similarities. Because they constitute a major part of orofacial pain and affect so many, temporomandibular disorders are the primary topic of several chapters as well as a major focus of the chapter of classification. Other important topics covered in detail include neuropathic pain conditions, odontogenic pain, and mucogingival disorders. This long-awaited edition arms clinicians with new insights and procedures for assessing, diagnosing, and managing patients who present with symptoms of orofacial pain.Table of Contents 1 Introduction to Orofacial Pain2 General Assessment of the Patient With Orofacial Pain3 Differential Diagnosis of Orofacial Pain4 Vascular and Nonvascular Intracranial Disorders5 Primary Headache Disorders6 Episodic and Continuous Neuropathic Pain7 Intraoral Pain Disorders8 Temporomandibular Disorders9 Cervicogenic Mechanisms10 Extracranial and Systemic Disorders11 Biobevavioral ConsiderationsGlossary - from Amzon
