Jaw and Orofacial Pain Disorders: Priorities for Research and Care – New Report March 12
An estimated 12.4 million U.S. adults have experienced pain related to temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) — a set of over 30 conditions that cause pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and muscles. Although TMDs are relatively common, patients, primary care doctors, and general dentists often do not know where to turn for specialty care.
A new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recommends a research agenda to advance understanding of TMD, ensure correct diagnosis, and develop an evidence base for care.
It also outlines ways to improve dental and primary care coordination in TMD care, recommending improvements to health professional education and training, insurance reimbursement, and care coordination.
Members of the committee that wrote the report will present their findings and recommendations during a webinar beginning at 3 p.m. EDT Thursday, March 12.
Participants:
- Enriqueta Bond (chair), president emeritus, Burroughs Wellcome Fund
- Sean Mackey, chief, division of pain medicine, Stanford University
- Cory Resnick, assistant professor, Harvard School of Dental Medicine
Advance copies of Temporomandibular Disorders: Priorities for Research and Care will be available to reporters only beginning at noon EDT Wednesday, March 11.
The report is embargoed and not for public release before 11 a.m. EDT Thursday, March 12.
Reporters who wish to obtain copies should contact the Office of News and Public Information at tel. 202-334-2138 or e-mail news@nas.edu.
