Atypical Facial Pain

Atypical facial pain, also called persistent idiopathic facial pain (PIFP), is a complex and often misunderstood condition, characterised by persistent and unexplained facial pain that does not correspond to any specific nerve distribution. It affects a significant number of patients, impacting their quality of life and posing a challenge for dental professionals who strive to provide appropriate treatment and care.

The course covers a wide array of topics, including the classification of atypical facial pain, the diagnostic process, differentiating it from other orofacial pain conditions, and evidence-based treatment options and management strategies for dental patients.
