This comprehensive 3-hour course provides dental professionals with essential knowledge and clinical skills to effectively diagnose and manage the most common and challenging conditions encountered in clinical practice: Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD), neuropathic orofacial pain (including trigeminal neuralgia and non-odontogenic tooth pain), and sleep breathing disorders. Participants will learn evidence-based diagnostic protocols, and review current therapeutic approaches, including conservative TMD management, pharmacotherapy strategies, and dental sleep medicine therapies such as oral appliance therapy. Special emphasis will be placed on differential diagnosis to avoid unnecessary dental procedures and improve patient outcomes.
