Orofacial Pain Beyond Teeth - Dentistry eBooks

Course Overview

Presented by Prof. Daniele Manfredini and Dr. Steve Bender, this course covers evidence-based strategies for managing orofacial pain — a category of conditions that extends well beyond tooth-related pathology and often requires a genuinely different diagnostic lens. Rather than a narrow TMJ course, it addresses the full range of factors that contribute to orofacial pain presentations.

The curriculum covers TMJ disorder diagnosis, the psychological factors that frequently accompany chronic orofacial pain, and patient triage — determining which cases a general dentist can manage directly and which require specialist referral. This combination of diagnostic and psychosocial understanding is aimed at improving both diagnostic accuracy and the overall quality of care patients receive.

Across 7 lectures and 4 hours 50 minutes of content, the course equips practitioners with the skills to offer more comprehensive, informed care for patients suffering from orofacial pain conditions.
