This two day program is designed to provide the participant with a anatomical review of the dynamic masticatory system and contiguous structures. Attendees will discuss areas of special emphasis to include: osteology, the oral cavity, nasal cavity, salivary glands, musculature, and the temporomandibular joint. This course will highlight relationships to routine dental assessment and differential diagnosis of orofacial pain.

Learning Objectives:
›› Review anatomical factors relating to vascular pain that may mimic odontogenic or temporomandibular-related conditions
›› Gain insight relating to salivary gland origins of orofacial pain
›› Understand various subgroups of masticatory muscle disorders
›› Review anatomical factors relating to glandular, neural, and vascular pain that may mimic odontogenic or temporomandibular-related conditions
›› Review basic principles of diagnostic and treatment anesthetic procedures
