Dr Monteith: This is Dr Teshamae Monteith, associate editor of Continuum Audio. Today I'm interviewing Drs Meredith Barad and Marcela Romero-Reyes about their article on oralfacial pain, which appears in the October 2024 Continuum issue on pain management and neurology. Welcome to the podcast, ladies. How are you?  Dr Barad: Excellent.  Dr Romero-Reyes: Fine, happy to be here.  Dr Monteith: I am so happy to see you. I mean, I think both of you I've known for like ten years. Dr Romero-Reyes: Yeah.  Dr Barad: Yes.  Dr Monteith: So why don't you introduce yourselves? While I know you, our audience, some of them, may not know you.  Dr Romero-Reyes: I'm Dr Marcella Romero Reyes. I am a neuropathial pain specialist, clinical professor, and director of the Provident Special Pain Clinic here in the University of Maryland School of Dentist. Dr Monteith: Excellent.  Dr Barad: My name is Meredith Barad. I'm a clinical associate professor at Stanford and I work- I'm the codirector of our headache and facial pain clinic in the Stanford pain management clinic. Dr Monteith: Well, first of all, thank you for writing this article. It is extremely detailed and up-to-date and very informative. And in neurology, I think we don't get enough pain management. I'm interested in both of your backgrounds and, you know, what led you even to become an expert in this area? And both of you have complementary areas. I think we can see in the quality of this article. But why don't we start with you, Dr Romero-Reyes? Dr Romero-Reyes: Well, for me to get interested in orofacial pain, I will say more than an interest was like a calling that I wanted to take care of this patient population. So, as you know, my background is dentistry and at that time I was very interested in patients with complex medical issues. And was the time I was- I started to be interested in temporomandibular disorders. But what really picked completely my attention was the first time I saw a patient with trigeminal neuralgia. This was my last year in dental school. This patient already had, like, almost a full upper quadrant of teeth extracted where pain was not resolved. So when the patient came to us and I did my exam and, you know, and I triggered the pain, the sharp shoot electrical pain, that really broke my heart. And I took an x-ray and I didn't find anything that will explain it was something wrong until I talked to my professor and he said, no, this is medical. There's nothing wrong with it, with that tooth and needs to be, you know, followed with proper management and medication. And for me, that was like, wow, what a proper diagnosis and proper management can take care of these of these patients. And when the patient got better, that really said, oh, you know, I want to do this.  Dr Monteith: That's a crazy story. It's always that last patient of the day.  Dr Romero-Reyes: And you know, think about it, at least in dentistry at that time, I learned about trigeminal neuralgia from a book, right, my classes. But when you see the patient, this is it. That completely, you know, made me say yes, I want to study this.  Dr Monteith: Yeah. And unfortunately, that's not an uncommon scenario where patients with trigeminal neuralgia get, you know, their extractions and pain can sometimes be more complicated. What about you, Dr Barad? Dr Barad: Well, I guess I'm sort of like the opposite. So as a neurologist and a trained pain physician, I saw a lot of patients with neuralgic pain and headache pain, but I also saw many patients who would say, I have TMJ. And as, as Dr Romero has educated us, that's like saying I have shoulder or I have knee. But I quickly realized that I needed to work with a multidisciplinary team to really understand more about orofacial pain. It's not just neuralgic. There are other ideologies. And so that's how we started working together and that's how we practice in our clinic at Stanford. Dr Monteith: So, why don't you tell us about the objectives of this article? Dr Barad: I think our objectives were to help the neurologist broaden the differential diagnosis on facial pain to encompass below the nose, the oral cavity, the temporal mandibular joint. And to just think more broadly about facial pain and to understand some of the more recent diagnostic criteria that have been developed for facial pain and to- how to diagnose properly and how to begin treatment for some of the other conditions that are non-neurologic.  Dr Romero-Reyes: And I think I will ask about what Dr Barad say that also to bring awareness to the neurologist about the vast classification of oral facial pain disorder, craniofacial and orofacial. I think that was also a key thing too. And also, to show how well we can work together, you know, the multi-disciplinary management that is indicated for these cases. Dr Monteith: Cool. And you mentioned some of the new diagnostic criteria. I want to talk just briefly about the new international classification of orofacial pain, ICOP. When did that come out and what was the process there in really fine-tuning the diagnosis of orofacial pain disorders? Dr Romero-Reyes: So, in 2019 the orofacial head pain especially interest group of the International Association for the Study of Pain, the International Network for Orofacial Pain and Related Disorders methodology and the American Academy of Orofacial Pain and the International Headache Society. They partnered together to develop to develop this international classification of orofacial pain. And these, I think- it's such a great effort, you know, all the main people doing pain about this area, and goes very well together with the international classification of headache disorders. So, for example, you know, some disorders that International Classification of Headache Disorders doesn't present such as and the ICOP, International Classification of Orofacial Pain, presents, like the persistent idiopathic dental Viola pain. You have it in the ICOP. It's not, you know, mentioned in the in the International Classification of Headache Disorders, as well as, also we have the- I think it's item number five, the orofacial representations headache disorder or primary headache disorder. The ICOP gives you a nice, clean diagnostic criteria.  Dr Monteith: So, I guess I would ask Dr Barad with this classification in mind, how useful is it in neurology practice? And I know obviously you see patients with pain, but how useful even in managing patients with headache? Dr Barad: I think it's great because I've had a lot of dentists and ENT doctors who have started referring patients to me because they've realized that they've increased their awareness about orofacial pain and realized that pain in the sinuses, for example, accompanied by light sensitivity and sound sensitivity and rhinorrhea, may not be a recurrent monthly sinus infection. And so that kind of broadens our awareness of these of these disorders. And it's been, it's brought new patients into my clinic that we can help and treat. So that's been exciting.  Dr Monteith: And what about in the world of dentistry? Obviously, I think people in orofacial pain worlds are highly attuned to this, but I would hope this would hopefully have been disseminated into dentists and regular practice at C patients with trigeminal neuralgia. Dr Romero-Reyes: Going back for the, what you were discussing about the ICOP. So, it's what we're trying now as a new specialty. Well that we have been for the last four years, but finally in 2020 we have been recognized by the American Mental Association to disseminate this knowledge. But also, you know, can you imagine in in the realm in orofacial pain or dentistry have a patient with this recurrent pain, phonophobia, photophobia, throbbing dental pain is throbbing, but it's nothing wrong with your tooth. And that did they tell you that actually you have an orofacial or facial migraine or a neurovascular or facial pain. How crazy, right? And that is managed with migraines therapy. So it really, you know, to make you think like that. Wow, so these weird tooth things that used to come every week or these with facial pain, it's nothing to deal with, you know, with my teeth or any structure, you know, inside my mouth. Dr Barad: It sounds to me like what you're saying is that we've, this has encouraged patient education as well, not only interdisciplinary education, but really helping provide an explanation for the patient about what is going on with them. So rather than just getting sent away to another tertiary specialist, the patient is getting a more robust understanding of what's going on.  Dr Romero-Reyes: And going back to what you were saying about trigeminal neuralgia, you know, at least in dentistry also we're teaching now a new awareness like for two things, right? What about from the neurology setting? The patient has captured electrical pain. The trigger is intraoral. If it's pain inside your mouth, the first practitioner you're going to see who will be maybe the dentist that the dentist knows that could be a possibility of a disorder that doesn't deal with teeth, but also, it's important and we discussed that in our paper. What about that actually that weird trigger actually, it's not a general. What about if it's a cracked tooth has that singing sensation too. So, you see, it's two ways; one, to teach dentist to learn about this disorder and you know, we have learned, but you know, it's much more awareness now that this is great that, you know, these disorders you're not going to treat with dental procedures. Right? It's medical and vice versa, that the neurologist also has the awareness that oh, central trigger. Have you gone to the to the dentist? Have you checked that out? Dr Monteith: So what should neurologist know about dental sources of pain? Dr Barad: Well, maybe they should read the paper?  Dr Romero-Reyes: Yeah. Yeah, you need to read the paper. Yeah.  Dr Monteith: Top three, don't treat this with gabapentin.  Dr Romero-Reyes: Like well, dental pain is not going to be resolved with gabapentin. That would need to make a diagnosis if and you know it's that examination that come comes with a radiographic evidence that shows that maybe could be a cavity or could be a problem. You know in the in the practical tissues of the tooth that is given a symptomatology. Not only dental could be a lot of different disorders inside there now that can produce pain that also the readers can check our paper and learn about and see the wonderful interesting pictures that we have added there. Dr Monteith: Yeah. And so why don't we talk a little bit about TMD disorders and what is the new thinking around these conditions? Dr Romero-Reyes: Well, I will say for the last decade, maybe a little bit more has been a change in the evidence. They evidence based understanding of the theologia pathophysiologist and for mandibular disorders. Imagine that what's the shift in the in the paradigm that in dentistry prevails for a long, long time. That is that really focus and I will call it the pathological mechanistic point of view. What I mean by that I was focusing your bite, your occlusion, how the relation between in your maxilla mandible. That was the only issues that would create in temporomandibular disorders. So now we know that temporomandibular disorders are complex, are multifactorial and you need to understand them and see them within a biopsychosocial framework. And this dictate the main way to management for the primary way that we start will be conservative, reversible and basing evidence that the best evidence available that we have. Dr Monteith: And what about for trigeminal neuralgia? Is there newer kind of classification around trigeminal neuralgia? and what are some key points that we should consider when diagnosing these patients and treating these patients, Dr Barad?  Dr Barad: There haven't been any new diagnostic criteria, but I would say that there's been an increased awareness that classical trigeminal neuralgia is more likely than not related to neurovascular compression or we should say, maybe I should say neurovascular contact or compression. There is a developing grading system of that. That's an evolution as we speak. I think it's an exciting time for facial neuralgia because it's opened the door for us to look at other neuralgia also as vascular compressions and to think about how we can treat them with decompression or possibly with peripheral nerve stimulation or medicine or Botox. Or who knows what's the future is going to hold? But it is I think a change in the way we are thinking about the definition of neuralgia of, of trigeminal neuralgia in that is caused by a compression which is different than other neuralgia in other parts of the body. I should, I just want to classify there's about maybe ten twelve percent of people who present with classical trigeminal neuralgia who there is not evidence on imaging of a vascular contact or compression. But the majority of cases do seem to have some somewhere in the spectrum from contact to compression.  Dr Monteith: Even contact I find to be a bit vague sometimes say, well, thanks for letting me know that they're touching. But and then some of the neurosurgeons have different perspective when you open the patient up. So, I didn't know about the grading.  Dr Barad: Yeah, I think you've hit on it exactly like that is a big problem in the field right now. How do we understand what patients will be the best patients for surgery? And it used to be that you have the classical trigeminal neurologist symptomology plus some imaging that shows something versus nothing. And now we're getting into parsing out the imaging and trying to understand who's the best candidate for that with the imaging.  Dr Monteith: Dr Romero, anything to add?  Dr Romero-Reyes: No, that I agree about that, you know, and I think now maybe for the patients that I have seen with that, because under partial pain settings, sometimes we're the ones that, oh, actually what you have is trigeminal neuralgia idea, you know, so we start to have our small disciplinary management, but you know, when they come out, I already have an MRI doctor, but, and they say that these are compression, but what degree? And some patients that they don't have symptoms can have a compression. And I'm thinking maybe right that later on when we have more time and maybe nicer imaging, we're going to really find out or if it's the development angle is the measurement has some other characteristics, who knows. So, I think for trigeminal neuralgia, the things is still evolving, right? For our understanding. I have to help us to make a more- I will not say definitive diagnosis, but maybe some parameters will change in the future. Dr Monteith: So now we have a lot of people listening, international folks listening, and they always want some treatment, a tip, some clinical tips. So, can you give us a little bit of clinical insight to how to treat patients with trigeminal neuralgia and when you're seeing patients for second and third opinions, what might you see that may explain why their pain is not well controlled? We all get into interdisciplinary care, but in terms of pharmacology? Dr Barad: I think people are a little reluctant to use some of these medications that neuromodulating medications because, in general, it's an older population and they're rightly worried about falls and dizziness and confusion and low sodium. And so, I think they hesitate to go to the doses that are needed to help with pain control. So, a lot of our, my initial management is gingerly and gently titrating that to try to get to see if we can get control of the pain. Dr Monteith: Dr Romero?  Dr Romero-Reyes: I could add, for example, one thing that I in the realm of facial pain addition to pharmacology. Let's say that we have a patient with that intraoral trigger and we were able to localize that intraoral trigger. Sometimes we can even also use topical medication. And in the topical medication we can use, for example, an anticonvulsant, let's say gabapentin, oxcarbazepine for example, to add in the cream. And we use, we call it a neurosensory stent in my looks like a Nygard, but it's not a Nygard that can cover that area. So, the patient can add that cream very delimited in that area. And that helps, you know, can help with the pain sometimes. What we can find is that, at least in my, in my experience, and that when we add a topical, maybe we don't need to increase as much. The systemic medication, of course, depends from case to case.  Dr Monteith: So those are two great tips. Not being afraid to push those doses up in a safe manner and maybe with monitoring as well as of maybe utilizing more topicals. And I think we could probably hear a lot more from you on topicals at some other point. But thank you also for the table. I think it's, it's really nice the way all the treatments are laid out. So what other cranial neuralgia advances have there been? Dr Barad: I would say the main advancements have been in applying the knowledge that neurosurgeons have learned from microvascular decompression of the trigeminal nerve, to the glossopharyngeal nerve, to the geniculate nerve, and really trying to optimize imaging and optimize neurosurgical techniques to try to treat these neuralgias. If the patient has failed medicine, if the patient is a good candidate for surgery and if the patient desires that. Dr Monteith: Great. So now let's talk about multidisciplinary approaches. I know both of you are big fans of that, and you may do things a little bit differently at your institution, especially with your background. So maybe Dr Romero, do you want to tell us about your experience? And then we'll have Dr Brad. Dr Romero-Reyes: But in my experience from study management, let's say depend, of course, also the started we're talking about. But let's say for example about temporomandibular disorders, you know that for TMD is one of these overlapping pain conditions and we know that TMD is common with primary headache disorders, especially migraine. So, if we're able to utilize, you know, the expertise of neurologist specializing headache. With me, for example, or a facial pain person that is that is helping you manage a patient with this comorbidity. This is super effective because we know the presence of TMD in a migraineur can help the disorder to, to progress some more chronic form. So, you see, this is super important and effective to provide, you know, optimal care for the patient. For example, in the patients that I do see with neuralgias, like in addition to trigeminal neuralgia, let's say nervous intermediates neuralgia, that sometimes they can come to me like, oh, the pain is in my ear and my EMT or, or I think maybe it's my TMJ and for the pain is charged shooting inside the ear doesn't follow the for the diagnosis of temporomandibular disorders. And I can maybe help the patient to get a proper imaging or already penalize it with a neurologist to make sure. And maybe at least my way will be maybe I'm the one that can catch those disorders and help, you know, the patient to go for the next step. Dr Barad: I think Marcella, Dr Romero-Reyes, hit on a nice point that maybe this group is not as familiar with and that is that temporal mandibular dysfunction TMD is a, is one of the disorders that we call chronic overlapping pain conditions or COCPs. And those include headache. it's not, it's not specified fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic pelvic pain and several other chronic pain syndromes. And they suggest a central sensitization to one's pain. And the way that we treat centrally sensitized pain is not just through medications, it's in a biopsychosocial framework because we see much higher rates of depression and anxiety in this group. And so, using a pain psychologist to help the patient develop coping strategies to help them manage their pain, using a physical therapist to help them learn this, the stretching exercises and using medications to help with not only with their pain syndrome, but also sometimes with their psych comorbidities. And then additionally, procedures sometimes play a role in the process to help usually turn down the pain. Interestingly, when we look at trigeminal neuralgia, we see much less overlapping pain disorders. It's much rarer to see somebody with TN who has other COCPs or the kind of chronic levels of depression and anxiety that we see in these patients. So, the approach is very different, and I think it requires the use of a multidisciplinary team to help guide the treatment pathways for these patients.

So, you want to be a dentist. This post will guide you through the dental school admissions process and offer tips on how to get accepted. What you'll learn:Overview of the dental school application process: Primary, secondaries and interviewsGeneral dental school application timeline and informationSchool-specific deadlines for the primary applicationAcademic requirements (Courses, GPA, DAT)Dental admissions test (DAT)Experience requirements for dental schoolHow to choose where to apply?Components of the ADEA AADSAS ApplicationRecommendations: Whom to ask? What should dental school letters of recommendation include?Secondary applications Dental schools that require secondary applicationsDental school interviewsWondering If Dental School Is For You?Applying to dental school? To become a dentist, you will need to obtain either a doctor of dental surgery or doctor of dental medicine degree. It's the same curriculum. The school that you attend will determine the one you receive. There is no difference between them. Dental education is similar to medical education in that a bachelor's degree is required to apply to dental school and a dental education is a commitment of four years with the option of pursuing a specialty with additional study.   Similar to practicing medicine, dentistry maintains the same high ethical standards and long-term commitment to education through continuing education requirements.   Dental students can pursue specialties in Dental Anesthesiology, Dental Public Health, Endodontics, Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Oral Medicine, Orofacial Pain, Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, Pediatric Dentistry, Periodontics, and Prosthodontics through additional professional training. For more information about these specialties please see the National Commission on Recognition of Dental Specialties and Certifying Boards website.   The best way to determine whether you would like to pursue dentistry and any of these pathways would be to shadow dentists virtually and/or in person, when possible. The Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of the University of Southern California offers a virtual shadowing program. Keep in mind that many schools prefer in-person shadowing hours, but some schools will accept virtual shadowing hours, given the limitations in place because of the pandemic.  Overview of the dental school application process: Primary, secondaries and interviews The first step in applying to dental school is registering for a DENTPIN, which is a Dental Personal Identifier Number. This number is required to take the DAT (Dental Admission Test) and to apply to dental programs through the Associated American Dental Schools Application Service (AADSAS) of the ADEA (American Dental Education Association) and any other dental school application systems. This number will be associated with all your subsequent dental exams and licensing and will stay with you throughout your dental education and career. For those of you who have graduated from a dental program outside the United States, there is a separate application system through which to apply to dental programs in the United States. The dental application is similar to the medical school application process because it includes three major steps that take a year to complete: Submitting the primary application Returning secondary applications Participating in interviews. General dental school application timeline and information The ADEA's AADSAS primary application opens mid-May, with the earliest submission date falling in mid-June. Once all of your transcripts have been received by the AADSAS, they can process your application, which takes four to six weeks. It costs $259 to apply to one school and $112 for each additional school. Please note that you can add more schools to your application at any time until their deadline.

She is in private practice, works in the Department of General Dentistry at VCU, serves as a VDA delegate and is on the Board of Regents of ICCMO. Dr. Mac LeeThird-generation dentist in rural Edna, Tx.  Retired, after five decades of clinical dentistry and is now writing, teaching, ranching, and being with kids and grandkids.Deeply trained in CR dentistry with LD Pankey, Pete Dawson, and John Kois who all became personal friends.  His first dental epiphany was at the Pankey Institute in 1977.His grandfather's records from 1928 told a story of treating periodontal disease as an infection, cleaning the area (SRP), using an antimicrobial, teaching the patient how to keep it clean, and letting the body heal itself. Mac took the antimicrobial his grandfather used,changed the name, got FDA approval, and then sold it through Premier Dental.That same philosophy led Mac to the father of non-surgical perio, Dr. Paul Keyes. They worked together on several programs.  At the same time, then famous Dr. Earl Estepp traveled to Mac's office to watch the procedure and philosophy.  It changed Earl's concept of clinicaldentistry.  He made sure that Dr. Lee got on the road and shared his knowledge.In 1990, he quit his perio seminars to be a co-founder of Dental Boot Camp, a seminar that changed the dental world in North America.  That lasted for seven years.  Pete Dawson became a semi-business partner of DBC.  Dr. Dawson sent his lab man to Mac's office to personally walk him through a full mouth reconstruction on Joleen Jackson (who soldhundreds of thousands of dollars of Pete's Perfect Byte computer program).  The case was beautiful but never comfortable; she was over-closed.After Dental Boot Camp, he and Joleen wrote “Nothin' Personal Doc, But I Hate Dentists!” a dental educational book for the layperson.  The book caught the eye of Dr. Mehmet Oz.  Mac became a consultant and a guest for Oz's Second Opinion series on The Discovery Channel and later on Oprah radio with Oz.  He also consulted for Oz's three YOU Health Books.  Things quickly changed when the Dr. Oz show was aired. The first time Mac told the producer Oz's information was wrong, he got no response.  On the second negative email to the producer, he was 100% shut off from anything Oz.Using all this experience, he and Joleen became in-house consultants to some of the most successful practices in North America.  Their expertise was patient communication.  Most of these successful offices called themselves Neuromuscular dentists.His second dental epiphany was seeing the mouth through a totally different set of eyes.  This led to me becoming a Regent for the International College of Craniomandibular Orthopedics and to his Amazon book, The Life Robbing Pain of TMD; Why Me?

What You Need to Know About Orofacial Pain as a Specialty Episode #455 with Dr. Mary Charles Haigler A toothache may be more than a toothache. It could be TMD, TMJ, or even symptoms of a heart attack! Learning about orofacial pain can change and save your patients' lives, and Kirk Behrendt brings in Dr. Mary Charles Haigler to encourage you to find out more. Dentists are the best professionals who can make a difference for these patients. And to do that, education is the key. To learn how you can help your suffering patients, listen to Episode 455 of The Best Practices Show! Main Takeaways: Orofacial pain is broader than just TMD. There are many risk factors for pain symptoms. Listen to your patients and take good medical histories. For orofacial pain patients, opioids can make things worse. If you don't see anything wrong with the tooth, step back and reassess. Keeping up with CE and different fields is very important for this specialty. Quotes: “Patients will come in and they'll inform me that they've been diagnosed with TMJ. And so, I have to tell them, ‘Well, let's break it down a little bit more, because there can be a disorder that involves the articular disc being out of place. There can be arthritis, which can either be osteoarthritis or an autoimmune condition. There can be muscle pain or myalgia. There can be a combination of those, or they can be separate.' So, it's trying to figure out exactly what that patient has going on so that we can tailor the treatment or the management to whatever symptoms they're actually having.” (5:38—6:20) “You can learn a lot just from hearing what the patient has to say. Even if they don't fully know what's going on, they could still tell you, ‘Well, when I open, I can only open this wide now. I used to click, and now I don't.' All of those are little key words that tell you maybe it's a disc disorder. Or some patients will tell you that they have other joints that are achy and painful, so then that clues you in. So, getting a good history helps to start the process.” (6:49—7:22) “I look for comorbidities like mood disorders, anxiety, depression. I'll look for sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea because those things can be correlated to jaw pain as well. And so, we like to look at the whole picture, the whole patient, to try to figure out the best treatment for them.” (7:24—7:43) “Looking at the whole patient helps you to be able to — I'm not going to necessarily treat every part of that if they have hypertension or they have a mood disorder. But I can help them to get that treatment, which then helps us to get them well.” (9:37—9:53) “I've heard people say, ‘Well, I'm concerned about working with [TMD and TMJ] patients because some patients will come in and say that they have a tooth that hurts. And you look at the tooth, and there's nothing wrong with the tooth, but they're convinced that it is.' Well, that could mistakenly lead to a practitioner thinking that the person's either making it up, trying to get something done that's not needed, or get medicine that's not needed. But the reality is that in a lot of those cases, they do feel pain in a certain tooth — but the pain is not coming from that tooth. There's a discrepancy in the site versus the source of the pain.” (10:12—11:58) “I'd like other dentists to be aware that if a patient has a toothache — and I know you're trying to help them — but you don't see anything wrong with the tooth, just step back and try to reassess.” (11:48—12:01) “We can only do the best we can with what knowledge we have. And so, that's why I feel like it's really important for the orofacial pain community to reach out to dentists, reach out to ENTs too, because a lot of patients will have earaches that are actually pain from the temporomandibular joint as well.” (12:24—12:47) “With orofacial pain, I know I've mentioned TMD a lot because that seems to be the biggest overlap with general dentistry. But orofacial pain...

Joining Anthony for this episode of VETchat by The Webinar Vet is Andrew Perry, European Veterinary Specialist in Dentistry and Head of Dentistry and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Eastcott Veterinary Referrals.

Neste novo episódio do podcast bato um papo bacana com Flávia Kapós e Márcio Bittencourt sobre talvez o aspecto menos estudo no contexto da dor: o social. E que papo... Ouçam as palavras da Flávia e os questionamentos do Márcio: uma verdadeira aula. Flávia Kapos está no Pós-doutorado, Pediatric Pain and Sleep Innovations Lab, Seattle Children's Research Institute. Doutora em Epidemiologia pela Universidade de Washington, cientista-dentista, diplomata pela American Board of Orofacial Pain. Sua pesquisa atual se concentra na compreensão do papel dos fatores sociais e contextuais na etiologia da dor crônica. Está particularmente interessada nos fatores que moldam a vulnerabilidade biológica e psicológica individual à dor crônica ao longo da vida, para orientar futuras políticas ou intervenções de saúde da população. Apaixonada pela importância de métodos de pesquisa sólidos, gosta muito de ensinar e colaborar com pesquisadores da saúde de todas as origens (Fonte: Linkedin). Márcio Bittencourt é uma das pessoas que mais admiro dentro da Odontologia Brasileira. Um dos primeiros professores que vi falar sobre DTM e Dor Orofacial (e o primeiro sobre Odontologia baseada em Evidências), Márcio tem mestrado pela Universidade de Kentucky (terminou em 1996) onde estudou com o Prof. Jeffrey Okeson (que dispensa apresentações). Por um tempo, deixou de lado a Dor Orofacial e passo a se dedicar a Reabilitação Oral (no qual atua super bem também) mas para nossa sorte, voltou para nossa especialidade e para nossa convivência e trouxe com ele os questionamentos, a curiosidade, as reflexões, e é isso que nos move, não? Que bom! Link para a palestra da Flávia na AAOP: https://aaop.org/portfolio-items/multi-level-determinants-of-pain-kapos/ Bora ouvir nossa conversa? Photo by mauro mora on Unsplash

Editor's note: IASP will be celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2024. Even though the anniversary is still a few years away, it already has us thinking about the history of IASP and the evolution of pain research over the past five decades. So, we are providing a series of podcasts that will cover both of those topics, featuring senior leaders in the field who have made major contributions to pain research and care, including those with major roles at IASP. Our latest such podcast features Barry Sessle, BDS, BSc, MDS, PhD, DSc. Dr. Sessle, a Past President of IASP, is a pioneer in orofacial pain research, having studied orofacial pain and neuromuscular function for almost 50 years (see full bio below). In this podcast, Dr. Sessle speaks with PRF Correspondent Francisco Isaac Fernandes Gomes, DDS, a PhD student at the University of São Paulo, Brazil, to discuss his background and early career, how the understanding of orofacial pain has evolved over the years, and what it was like to be the President of IASP.

In March 2020, the ADA recognized Orofacial Pain as a dental specialty.

Toxina botulínica é uma neurotoxina, produzida pela bactéria Clostridium botulinum e o subtipo A é o que usamos na clínica nos dias de hoje. Amplamente utilizada na área estética, há alguns anos já houve um aumento expressivo nas terapias com toxina botulínica na área de dor orofacial, sobretudo disfunção temporomandibular e também para bruxismo. Há alguns anos também, as pesquisas iniciais mostravam um efeito terapêutico porém com eficácia abaixo ou semelhante às técnicas já empregadas na área... nada muito animador. Será que algo mudou nos últimos tempos? Para conversar sobre isso eu convidei dois colegas queridos do bauru Orofacial Pain group: Giancarlo Canales e Rodrigo Poluha. Juntos eles lançaram um ebook, cujo link deixarei na descrição deste episódio, denominado Toxina Botulínica: aplicações além da estética. Prof. Dr. Giancarlo de la Torre Canales é peruano (hoje não teremos problemas em identificar quem é quem pela voz somente!), e mora no Brasil já há algum tempo. Fez mestrado e doutorado na UNICAMP, com a linha de pesquisa envolvendo toxina botulínica, e atualmente está como pós doutorando na FOB-USP junto com o professor Paulo Conti, desenvolvendo pesquisas envolvendo o uso da toxina botulínica. Prof. Dr. Rodrigo Lorenzi Poluha é paranaense, fez mestrado na Universidade Estadual de Maringá e doutorado na FOB-USP. Também vou falar com orgulho que foram meus alunos nos cursos do Bauru Orofacial Pain Group, sob coordenação, claro, do Prof. Paulo Conti.

Jason and Alan had the honor of talking with Dr. Frank Spear of Spear Education! This was their first conversation with him since the COVID outbreak and the conversation focused a lot on changes in the landscape of dentistry and dental education! How has COVID affected dentistry and dental practices? Some dental practices have done BETTER in 2020! What are the things that these practices have in common? Messaging (stay in touch, let them know you're available!) Proactive messaging about safety "We're concerned about your dental health." Efficiency ("if you're coming in, let's get it done!") "The Big Dip" (hygiene scheduling) The history of dental infection control...why is dentistry ahead of this curve? How is "on campus" going at Spear Education? "Live Virtual" seminars...better than in person? Faculty club round tables...the best value at Spear! The new occlusion curriculum on Spear Online! New research in occlusion...now incorporated into the Spear curriculum! Cause and effect is often not as simple as we'd like What cases does Frank wish he could have a time machine to re-treat (spoiler: it's about airway and orofacial pain) What does Frank think about Orofacial Pain becoming a specialty? How can a dentist avoid burnout in dentistry?

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.04.28.066555v1?rss=1 Authors: Ayoub, L. J., McAndrews, M. P., Barnett, A., Ho, K. C. J., Cioffi, I., Moayedi, M. Abstract: Pain is a subjective experience with significant individual differences. Laboratory studies investigating pain thresholds and acute pain have identified structural and functional neural correlates. However, these types of pain stimuli have limited ecological validity to real-life pain experience. Here, we use an orthodontic procedure which typically induces pain lasting several days. We aimed to determine whether the baseline structure and resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) of key regions along the trigeminal nociceptive and pain modulatory pathways correlate with subsequent peak pain ratings. Twenty-six healthy individuals underwent structural (T1, diffusion-weighted MRI) and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) scanning prior to the orthodontic procedure, the insertion of an elastomeric separator between teeth, for five days. Participants recorded pain ratings three times, daily. Peak pain was not correlated with structural measures for the trigeminal nerve or any brain region. However, peak pain correlated with rsFC between the contralateral thalamus and bilateral insula, and negatively correlated with connectivity between the periaqueductal gray and core nodes of the default mode network (medial prefrontal and posterior cingulate cortices). In this ecologically valid model, we demonstrate that both ascending nociceptive and descending pain modulatory pathways shape the individual pain experience. Copy rights belong to original authors.

The use of anterior mid-point stop appliances (AMPSAs) in Dentistry is surrounded with controversies and misconceptions, so I am joined by Dr Barry Glassman in this episode to answer this much debated question. Attending Dr Glassman’s lecture last year was eye opening and career-transforming for me. It changed the way I thought about Occlusion!
