This title was highly commended at BMA Medical Book Competition 2009. "Orofacial Pain and Headache" is a timely, comprehensive and instructive addition to the pain literature; in particular the important and truly multidisciplinary area of orofacial pain. Based on their extensive clinical experience and a thorough understanding of pain mechanisms specific to the trigeminal system, the editors, Yair Sharav and Rafael Benoliel, have integrated knowledge from the areas of headache and orofacial pain and have succinctly explained common mechanisms involved in the two phenomena, with important implications for pain diagnosis and management. This book is an invaluable and unique resource for dental practitioners - both qualified and in training - and pain specialists from all fields, and for basic and clinical pain scientists who are interested in an up-to-date and comprehensive review of the diagnostic and management issues in the field of orofacial pain.
