Temporomandibular disorders are common in the general population, and therefore the clinician needs to be able to diagnose these conditions properly. However, pain is complex and often confusing. This course will present a simple and logical method to help practitioners separate TMD from other orofacial pain disorders and understand who can be helped in the dental office from those who should be referred to other health-care providers. 

Note: This course is a prerequisite for What Every Dentist Needs to Know About the Management of TMD - Part 2 (Th231).
