This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gradually, dental schools beliefs starting from individualistic concepts are sentenced to admit conceptual changes regarding stomatognathic dynamics. TMD demands a wider perspective of this notion: A neurophysiological, pathophysiological and muscle-skeletal concomitant perspective must be integrated. Trigeminal nerve research has permitted knowing a complex cranial pair that not only limits to motor output and a wide transmission of peripheric thermo- algesic inputs but also has an active involvement in vasomotor modulation and in a broad of heterogenic vegetative reactions related to pneumotaxic and cardiac nocifensive responses. Cranio-cervico-facial pain diagnosis is challenging but therapeutic assertive success is equally intricate. A constant change of conception focus is required for the comprehension of its pathophysiology. Is imperative a multidisciplinary handling where a collective consciousness and a shared responsibility consolidate a team work vision.

Download or read book Craniofacial Neuralgia written by Dr. Pratik C. Parkarwar and published by CONSCIENCE WORKS PUBLICATION. This book was released on 2022-03-02 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dentistry has enjoyed a remarkable period of technological and scientific growth over the past several decades. With the increase in life expectancy, the number of individuals seeking dental care also has escalated. One of the most common reasons for seeking care is because of pain and/or dysfunction, usually involving the teeth or periodontal tissues. However, musculoskeletal, vascular, and neuropathic causes of orofacial pain occur frequently. The need to understand pain and all of its ramifications is of utmost importance in diagnosis and case-specific, evidence-based management of conditions afflicting the masticatory system. The most recent definition of pain, produced by the task force on taxonomy of the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) is “an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage or described in terms of such damage” . Orofacial pain encompasses a myriad of signs and symptoms within and outside the oral cavity. To establish a differential diagnosis for orofacial pain we must first consider the history, examination and relevant investigations. Although both may co-exist, the more rare non-dental pain must be distinguished from dental pain to avoid unnecessary dental treatment and to organize appropriate referral for the patient. Principles Of Pain Diagnosis The examination and assessment of patients with chronic orofacial pain is challenging for all clinicians. In most disorders, no specific biologic marker validated diagnostic criteria or gold standard exists. A systematic approach for collecting diagnostic information is needed to minimize the risk of missing critical information. Identifying the true source of pain History, physical examination, and behavioral assessment usually serve as the basis for diagnosis. Frequent re evaluation including assessment of the effects of treatment is an important part of this Differentiating the many causes of facial pain can be difficult for busy practitioners, but a logical approach to history taking is important and will aid more rapid diagnoses with effective management. Although primary care clinicians are not be expected to diagnose rare pain conditions, they should be able to assess the presenting pain complaint and refer to the appropriate center. It is important that primary care practitioners provide sufficient detailed information of history, examination and investigation findings in their referral letters to ensure appropriate direction of the referral within the secondary/tertiary care institution. Underlying causes of orofacial pain are wide ranging and complex, but a greater understanding of a patient’s facial pain symptoms, towards establishing a diagnosis or differential diagnosis, can be achieved by obtaining a good pain history and carrying out a good clinical examination.

This book was released on 2020-07-01 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), are a set of more than 30 health disorders associated with both the temporomandibular joints and the muscles and tissues of the jaw. TMDs have a range of causes and often co-occur with a number of overlapping medical conditions, including headaches, fibromyalgia, back pain and irritable bowel syndrome. TMDs can be transient or long-lasting and may be associated with problems that range from an occasional click of the jaw to severe chronic pain involving the entire orofacial region. Everyday activities, including eating and talking, are often difficult for people with TMDs, and many of them suffer with severe chronic pain due to this condition. Common social activities that most people take for granted, such as smiling, laughing, and kissing, can become unbearable. This dysfunction and pain, and its associated suffering, take a terrible toll on affected individuals, their families, and their friends. Individuals with TMDs often feel stigmatized and invalidated in their experiences by their family, friends, and, often, the health care community. Misjudgments and a failure to understand the nature and depths of TMDs can have severe consequences - more pain and more suffering - for individuals, their families and our society. Temporomandibular Disorders: Priorities for Research and Care calls on a number of stakeholders - across medicine, dentistry, and other fields - to improve the health and well-being of individuals with a TMD. This report addresses the current state of knowledge regarding TMD research, education and training, safety and efficacy of clinical treatments of TMDs, and burden and costs associated with TMDs. The recommendations of Temporomandibular Disorders focus on the actions that many organizations and agencies should take to improve TMD research and care and improve the overall health and well-being of individuals with a TMD.

Waciuk and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives were to determine, (1) the effects of smoking on the response to treatment of TMD symptoms; (2) the presence of reduced cognitive function in PTH; (3) whether cognitive impairment can be used to predict poor treatment outcome for PTH; and (4) to perform a descriptive assessment of the prevalence of signs and symptoms of TMD in the PTH population. Hypotheses, (1) non-smokers will respond better to treatment for TMD than smokers; (2) poor neuropsychological test results are predictive of poor treatment outcome in a PTH population; and (3) patients with PTH will demonstrate signs and symptoms of TMD. I found that smoking may be a modulator of pain in a TMD population and hence interfere with recovery. The prevalence of TMD signs and symptoms was lower than expected in a PTH population. The neuropsychological tests demonstrate a trend indicating possible use as predictors of treatment outcome.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Schneider Family Book Award Honor Book for Teens "Raw and unflinching . . . A must-read!" --Marieke Nijkamp, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of This Is Where It Ends "[It] cuts to the heart of our bogus ideas of beauty." –Scott Westerfeld, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Uglies I am ugly. There's a mathematical equation to prove it. At only eight months old, identical twin sisters Ariel and Zan were diagnosed with Crouzon syndrome -- a rare condition where the bones in the head fuse prematurely. They were the first twins known to survive it. Growing up, Ariel and her sister endured numerous appearance-altering procedures. Surgeons would break the bones in their heads and faces to make room for their growing organs. While the physical aspect of their condition was painful, it was nothing compared to the emotional toll of navigating life with a facial disfigurement. Ariel explores beauty and identity in her young-adult memoir about resilience, sisterhood, and the strength it takes to put your life, and yourself, back together time and time again.
