The purpose of this 6-hour preconference workshop is to introduce the orofacial pain health professional to current theory, research evidence, and practice related to the application of self-regulation strategies for the management of pain, fatigue and anxiety. A foundation for self-regulation skills will first be established through didactic instruction (3 hours) and be followed by hands-on skills training (3 hours) with course presenters. The overall objective of the proposed program is to provide orofacial pain specialists with practical guidelines for providing self-regulation skills training to individuals with trigeminally-mediated pain conditions. Course topics will include: pathophysiology of trigeminal pain and stress; the fatigue-pain-anxiety model; techniques of selfregulation training for trigeminal pain management; and multidisciplinary integration of care for comprehensive patient management.

Learning Objectives 1. Describe the pathophysiology of common orofacial pain/TM disorders and how stress influences pain in the areas of the body associated with the trigeminal nerve.

2. Develop the skills to employ physical self-regulation training (PSR) as a baseline approach to the management of orofacial pain.

The dentist's involvement in Sleep Medicine has been growing at an accelerated rate over the past years and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Understanding sleep as well as sleep disorders is essential to the practice of orofacial pain. This course is designed to provide an overview of sleep medicine from both the scientific as well as the clinical perspective. The ability to understand the sleep study and the performance of a clinical evaluation will be reviewed. In addition, the relationship of sleep and sleep disorders to comorbid medical condition, orofacial pain, headaches and TMD will be reviewed. When fabricating an appliance (splint) for orofacial pain, how does the dentist know they are fabricating the correct appliance? In the presence of sleep breathing disorders, a mandibular repositioning appliance may be indicated as well. Accordingly, a review of oral appliances that may be used and their indications will be reviewed along with guidelines for the bite relationship.
