All specialists considered orofacial pain practice as part of the oral medicine specialty. 96.2% assessed and managed orofacial pain patients as part of their oral medicine practice. The greatest proportion (30.8%) of oral medicine specialists were practicing in Western Australia, a state which represents 10.3% of the Australian population. All respondents reportedly diagnose temporomandibular disorders, followed by orofacial neuropathy (96.2%) and headache or neurovascular disorders (80.8%). 92.3% of specialists managed orofacial neuropathy followed by temporomandibular disorders (84.6%) and headache or neurovascular disorders (50%).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This is the first study to report on patterns of orofacial pain practice amongst oral medicine specialists in Australia. Findings demonstrate that oral medicine specialists in Australia are actively engaged in the assessment and management of the orofacial pain patient. There, however, appears to be disproportionate access to care by oral medicine specialists for patients with orofacial pain across Australia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jop.13053","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,9]],"date-time":"2020-06-09T21:04:18Z","timestamp":1591736658000},"page":"590-594","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Patterns of orofacial pain practice amongst oral medicine specialists in Australia"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"49","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5305-2953","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lalima","family":"Tiwari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Oral Medicine Specialist UWA Dental School The University of Western Australia Nedlands WA Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ramesh","family":"Balasubramaniam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Associate Professor UWA Dental School The University of Western Australia Nedlands WA Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/08869634.2020.1716140"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/odi.12428"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2017\/7375468"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2380084416679648"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","unstructured":"OMAA.Home \u2010 OMAA.
