Course Description:
|
There are painful, potentially serious medical disorders that affect the oral and maxillofacial region and can cause pain, oral mucosal lesions, and dry mouth. Patients presenting with these disorders can be challenging to diagnose and manage. New techniques are available for evaluation of these conditions and will guide the clinician toward proper diagnosis. Management protocols vary based upon the specific disease affecting the oral and maxillofacial region. This course will highlight the etiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic techniques, and management protocols of major causes of neuropathic pain, temporomandibular joint disorders, oral mucosal diseases, and salivary gland disorders. This course is geared toward general dentists, dental specialists, dental hygienists, and dental assistants.
This course will enable participants to:
- Understand the etiology, clinical presentations, diagnostic techniques, and management protocols of orofacial pain conditions, including trigeminal neuralgia, atypical facial pain, burning mouth syndrome, and temporomandibular joint disorders.
- Understand the etiology, clinical presentations, diagnostic techniques, and management protocols of oral mucosal diseases, including lichen planus, pemphigus vulgaris, mucous membrane pemphigoid, herpes virus infections, and aphthous stomatitis.
- Understand the etiology, clinical presentations, diagnostic techniques, and management protocols of conditions affecting the salivary glands, including Sjögren's syndrome and xerostomia.
