to dental pain, musculoskeletal masticatory pain is considered the most
frequent pain in the orofacial system. Over the last decade, better insight
into the potential etiological factors was reached. Combined with reliable
randomized clinical trials on treatment efficacy, a standard of reversible,
noninvasive and conservative approaches has been reached. A majority of
patients may now bridge the period that the body needs to reinstall equilibrium
between inherent capacity and overloading or to adapt in case of altered joint
mechanics, for example.
Objectives:
Understand
the evolution that the fundamental scientific paradigms that support the
knowledge and practice of modern medicine have undergone
Understand
the concept of the psychoneuroendocrine immune axis as the main processing,
coordinating, and adapting system of the human body
Describe
the different clinical types of masticatory muscle pain
Understand
how the central nervous system becomes an influencing factor in muscles pain
Understand
and utilize appropriate imaging protocol for various clinical situations in
which orofacial pain is being investigated
