| Click to play a portion of DVD #25, Non-Odontogenic Toothache. |
In this DVD lecture Dr. Okeson presents information on one of the most common pain complaints in the dental
office: toothache. Most toothaches have their origin in the pulpal tissues or periodontal structures. These
odontogenic pains are managed well and predictably by dental therapies. Non-odontogenic toothaches,
however, are often difficult to identify and can challenge the diagnostic ability of the clinician. The most
important step towards proper management of toothache is to be suspicious that the pain may not be of dental
origin. Dr. Okeson uses this topic to bring much of this entire lecture series together. He highlights seven
different sources of pain that can be felt in the teeth yet are unrelated to pulpal and periodontal structures.
Understanding these sources of pain is essential in a dental practice. Keys to differentiating these pains from
odontogenic pains will be presented so that the clinician can appropriately diagnosis and manage these
conditions. This DVD is essential for any dentist.
