Description
This book on orofacial pain is a clinical text using an evidence-based approach to the assessment and management of dental and orofacial
pain in an interactive format using a biopsychosocial model of management. Orofacial pain falls between dentistry and medicine in that
it requires input from both these broad specialities. The book has been written by a multi-disciplinary team, all of whom are active
clinicians and all but one have got higher research degrees in the field of pain. The first part of the book provides generic information
for management of pain and orofacial pain in particular. The subsequent chapters deal with specific orofacial conditions and give evidence-based
management strategies. Each chapter has clearly stated objectives and a summary of the contents at the end. There are multiple tables
called Key Facts which enable the reader to quickly assimilate the key data. For the expert there is in-depth discussion and further
tables listing the evidence for the clinical features and management of conditions. Each chapter also has a selection of case studies
based on clinical material seen by the authors which enables the reader to assess their own skills as the answers are provided at the
end of each chapter. All the chapters incorporate the latest research findings from a very wide range of journals. All the references
are graded and each chapter also has a section on further reading material.
