TAILIEUCHUNG - Dental Clinics of North America (April 1997)

The amalgamation of the science with the art of dentistry has resulted from an enhanced appreciation for and the ability to provide evidence-based diagnosis and care. Pain and compromised function are the most common reasons for which people seek health care. Historically dentistry has been most effective regarding the diagnosis and management of acute pain conditions. However more than one in four Americans approximately 75 million people live in chronic pain. Many of these individuals experience pain in the orofacial region. Our role as diagnosticians becoming physicians of the masticatory system and orofacial area is more important than ever. We must develop an increased clinical awareness of pain and its many facets. For example we now appreciate that diagnosis of painful conditions involving the head and neck is frequently complicated by referred pain or co-existing conditions that may lead the practitioner down a path of well-intentioned but misdirected care. Our profession is at the forefront in the establishment of a new and expanded mind-set reflected in the clinician scientist model. Dentistry must assume the role of leader in the field of diagnosis and management of pain and dysfunction in the most complexly innervated area of the human body the stomatognathic system and its contiguous structures. 0011-8532 07 - see front matter 2007 Elsevier Inc.
