The dysfunction of the masticatory system and orofacial pain are very prevalent in the general population as these syndromes encompass a large number of pathologies (it can be said that practically 100% of the population will suffer from orofacial pain at some point during their life). This diversity of pathologies makes the differential diagnosis of orofacial pain extremely difficult, causing frequent frustration both in patients and in professionals dedicated to the treatment of these diseases. The dysfunction of the masticatory system is a broad subject, in which students have to progressively acquire a set of theoretical concepts, sufficient practical skill and experience to be able to diagnose and effectively treat clinical pictures of craniomandibular dysfunction and orofacial pain. Currently, the concept of dysfunction of the masticatory is integrated within the general context of the patient as a functional unit, which requires an integral treatment approach.
Knowledge about anatomy of the stomatognathic system and neurophysiology of craniofacial pain
-To teach dental students in order to achieve the basic, theoretical and practical knowledge in relation to the diagnosis of craneomandibular dysfunction and orofacial pain.
-To teach dental students the current knowledge about the different types of therapies for the treatment of craniomandibular dysfunction and orofacial pain.
-To promote among students the search of information regarding this subject.

Contents
The final evaluation will be as follows:
Theoretical test:
The test will contain all the theoretical concepts taught throughout the whole semester. It will consist of 50 multiple-choice test questions. Every correct answer will be a point. The incorrect answers will subtract 0.20 points from the final score. To pass the test a minimum score of 25 points must be obtained. The theoretical test will represent 60% of the total grade of the subject.
Practice test:
The practice test will include the daily evaluation of the students (including punctuality), and a practical test. Attendance to the practice sessions is compulsory. The unjustified absence at two practical sessions will not pass the course. The practical test will represent 40% of the total grade of the subject.
It will be necessary to obtain a total score (theoretical test + practical test) of 5 / 10 to pass the subject. It will also be necessary to pass both exams individually (practical and theoretical) to approve the subject.
Exceptionally it will be valued with the professors of the subject and academic secretary the possibility of doing an oral examination of the subject if the individual situation requires it in particular.
