Orofacial & Maxillary Region (CRAFTA)

Red Flags, Assessment & Treatment of Bruxism, Post-Facial Palsy Pain, Trigeminal Neuralgia, Tinnitus, (Pseudo)Sinusitis and more

Day 1 – From Foundations to Clinical Precision

• Short review of key accessory techniques around the temporomandibular region in both intra-articular and myogenic TMD dysfunctions.
• Orofacial motor control: from assessment to dysfunction detection and targeted retraining.
• In-depth exploration of red flags in orofacial pathology which is essential for differential diagnosis within the head-neck region in physiotherapy.
• Update in bruxism – interpretation, clinical relevance, and physiotherapeutic management based on the latest evidence.

Day 2 – From Pain Experience  to Sensory Distortion

• Clinical patterns of maxillofacial dysfunctions with special focus on somatosensory tinnitus and (pseudo)sinusitis.
• Clinical classification of cranial neuropathic pain, including atypical facial pain, post-facial palsy pain, and trigeminal neuralgia.
• Introduction to Orofacial Somatosensory Distortion ;altered perception in persistent facial pain, revealing a new dimension for assessment, treatment, and motor learning.

This intensive two-day course merges theory, evidence, and practical application – a unique opportunity to expand your clinical reasoning and hands-on skills in the orofacial system.
