Lecture # 14
“The Classification of Orofacial Pains.”
(41 minutes) (2005)
Each clinician treating orofacial pain must appreciate the many
types of disorders that may present in the head and neck. In
this lecture, Dr. Okeson reviews the complete classification of
orofacial pain that makes his textbooks so unique. Each
category is described according to the specific clinical
symptoms that distinguish it from the others. The clinician will
learn that by listening carefully to how the patient describes
the pain, he or she can classify the disorder. Understanding
this classification is paramount to diagnosis and selecting
proper treatment. All orofacial pain disorders are highlighted in
this lecture so the clinician can understand and appreciate the
full extent of the orofacial pain. In later lectures, each disorder
will be highlighted and individual therapies presented.
