The most critical task for the orofacial pain clinician is establishing the correct diagnosis. It is only with a proper
diagnosis that effective treatment can be selected. The data needed to establish the diagnosis comes from the
information you receive from the patient. This information comes by way of the history and your examination of
the masticatory structures. In this presentation, Dr. Okeson reviews all the information that must be acquired
from the patient to establish the diagnosis. He emphasizes the importance of listening carefully to the patient
as she or he describes the pain. Dr. Okeson expertly organizes the information that must be attained in a
simple and logical manner. He then reviews each aspect of a detailed head and neck examination. Collecting
and understanding the information you receive from the history and examination allows the clinician to establish
the correct diagnosis.
