These are worthy objectives particularly in light of recent challenges with pain management and opioid addiction.

The book also can be used by other health professionals who need guidance/information in managing patients presenting with orofacial pain. The authors are highly credentialed and demonstrate significant expertise in this area.
Features: The book covers all aspects of orofacial pain and focuses primarily on assessment, including physiology, assessment/evaluation, etiology/diagnosis, treatment, and biobehavioral considerations. The chapters are well organized and provide an outline of key points at the beginning of each one. The index and glossary also help readers with terminology.
Assessment: The book provides comprehensive and updated guidelines from the AAOP for assessing, diagnosing, and managing orofacial pain patients. It is easy to read and easy to understand. The book represents a collaborative effort by experts focused on pain and pain-related issues, specifically orofacial pain.
