For dental clinicians and other clinical practitioners, but also for basic and clinical pain scientists, Okeson (oral health science, U. of Kentucky-Lexington) updates Welden E. Bell's venerable reference. He begins by setting out the normal neuroanatomy and function of the trigeminal system. Then he presents a classification of the various orofacial pain disorders and describes the history and examination procedures that can be used to differentiate them. The final section describes management considerations for each disorder. No dates are noted for earlier editions. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR Mark L.
