Advanced School of Facial Pain Treatment - Dentistry eBooks

Course Overview

This 12-video course takes an in-depth look at temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and orofacial pain from a functional and biomechanical perspective. Rather than treating TMD as a single condition, the course explores the underlying muscle dysfunction and maxillofacial orthopedic factors that contribute to it, grounding treatment decisions in a solid understanding of masticatory system anatomy and biomechanics.

The curriculum also moves beyond classic TMJ pain to cover the broader landscape of orofacial pain, including neuropathic pain, neuralgia, and non-odontogenic toothache — conditions that are frequently misdiagnosed as dental in origin. This gives the course practical value for differentiating true TMD from other pain presentations in the head and neck.

With 16 hours of content presented by experienced clinicians in the field, the course is designed to build a thorough, mechanism-based understanding of facial pain diagnosis and management rather than a symptom-by-symptom checklist.
