Book Description:
This text deals with dramatic disorders that
can be present in the face and head. This book reviews the ways
patients with emotional problems present to maxillofacial surgeons
and other dental
practitioners. It provides practical
advice to help these clinicians recognize the orofacial
manifestations of psychiatric disorders and explains the different
approaches to treatment. Chronic orofacial symptoms, including pain, disturbances
of jaw
movement, altered sensation, uncontrolled salivation, and
ulceration, are often revealed to be the result of emotional
problems. The book covers clinical situations ranging
from how to deal with anxious patients, the patient with
stress-related cranial, oral, and facial pain, to the patient who wishes
to change his or her appearance through orthognathic or orthodontic
means. The book is intended for dental practitioners, academicians,
oral and maxillofacial surgeons, psychiatrists, psychologists and
any who may have interest in the management of chronic pain.
