Evidence-Based Pharmacotherapy for TMJ Disorders and Orofacial Pain — prescribing only after the diagnosis is right
OHI-S Evidence-Based Pharmacotherapy for TMJ Disorders and Orofacial Pain packs roughly 50 minutes of video into a course that treats the prescription pad as the last step, not the first. It starts by classifying facial pain and building a differential, then works through the drug classes a dental clinician is most likely to reach for in TMD, and ends with the longer-term agents used when pain becomes chronic.

What you’ll be able to do
- Sort a patient’s complaint into a recognised orofacial pain category before choosing any drug
- Plan short courses of NSAIDs with an eye on pharmacokinetics and the limits of prolonged use
- Decide where corticosteroids and skeletal muscle relaxants genuinely add value in TMD
- Weigh injectable and topical options against systemic therapy for joint and muscle pain
- Explain why opioids, benzodiazepines and barbiturates are poor or risky choices in most facial pain
- Outline a chronic orofacial pain regimen using antidepressants, antiepileptics or selected antihypertensives
Inside the course
Diagnosis first
The opening lesson covers pain classification, the clinical examination of face and mouth and how to tell competing pain generators apart, then links those findings to current treatment recommendations.
Pharmacotherapy for TMJ disorders
Lesson two reviews oral agents (NSAIDs, corticosteroids, muscle relaxants and abortive headache drugs), injectable and topical approaches with their indications and protocols, and a closer look at NSAID selection and duration.
From acute to persistent pain
The final lesson explains how muscle relaxants act and when they fit TMD, then moves to the centrally acting classes used for pain that outlasts the usual healing window.
Built for
- General dentistsA prescribing framework for the TMD patients who turn up between routine appointments.
- Oral and maxillofacial surgeons and orofacial pain cliniciansA quick pharmacology refresher to pair with splints, physiotherapy and procedures.
- Pharmacists and primary care physiciansContext for the jaw and facial pain referrals they see or co-manage.
