Lecture Description:
In the United States today, approximately 5-10 % of the population seeks care for a temporomandibular disorder (TMD) making it the second most common musculoskeletal problem after back pain. As a result, patients are often presenting to dental offices with jaw related problems asking for advice and or treatment to address their symptoms.
Attendees will leave this lecture with an understanding of why TMDs commonly occur, who seeks care and why outcomes can be very much improved when patients are empowered to be active participants in the process of getting better. The goal of helping patients feel "better' and understanding the limitations of care will be discussed as total symptom resolution is not always achieved.
Learning Objectives:
- The complexities and relationships of somatic, neuropathic and nociplastic pain in the TMD patient
- Why gender matters
- TMD as a mind body disorder
- TMD as a result of trauma and underlying medical disorders/diseases
- Treatment strategies that fit the diagnosis and origin of the TMD problem
