Honoring Dr. Henry A. Gremillion
Dr. Henry A. Gremillion Memorial Symposium
Dentists diagnose odontogenic pain with confidence, most often identifying pulpal or periodontal sources. Yet not all oral pain follows these patterns. Neuropathic pain, though less familiar, can closely mimic dental conditions and is frequently overlooked. This course invites clinicians to expand their diagnostic perspective, improve recognition of non-odontogenic pain, and enhance patient outcomes while reducing unnecessary treatment and frustration for both dentist and patient.
