LECTURE
Orofacial pain – past, present and emerging Presented by Dr Vidya Iyer and Dr Tami Yap Orofacial pain conditions, including temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), primary headaches (neurovascular), neuropathic pain, and idiopathic pain conditions, can often mimic toothache, obscuring their true complexity. In this talk, we will explore the accumulated wisdom that has shaped our understanding of these conditions and the past reliance on ineffective and potentially addictive treatments like opioids and benzodiazepines. We will explore case-based discussions that highlight how delayed diagnosis, and inappropriate surgical or medical interventions can further complicate the presentation of these pain conditions. The talk will also examine the exciting horizons ahead, exploring emerging trends in diagnosis, targeted therapies and multidisciplinary approaches.
