Orofacial Pain

This is an up-to-date and affordable clinical guide to the evidence-based diagnosis and management of orofacial pain.  It is edited and written by experts from a range of specialties that concern themselves with orofacial pain, including pain medicine, oral medicine, and anesthesiology. Orofacial Pain:  A Clinician's Guide provide in-depth coverage of common clinical presentations of both acute and chronic orofacial pain,  including oral ulcers, facial pain, headaches, neuropathic orofacial pain conditions, pulpitis, temporomandibular disorder, and trigeminal neuralgia, among others.  Clinically important neurobiology is succinctly reviewed.  Orofacial pain can arise from a variety of sites in the orofacial region or can be referred from adjoining areas, sometimes making diagnosis challenging.  Thus, the book describes the appropriate history-taking methods and the detailed examinations and relevant tests that will help clinicians to work through the differential diagnosis.   The book presents medical, surgical, and behavioral approaches to treating orofacial pain effectively, and a multimodal approach is consistently emphasized throughout the book.  The target audience includes pain physicians, anesthesiologists, dentists, neurologists, nurse practitioners, and physician's assistants.  ?
