معرفی
Professor Justin Durham is a leading academic at Newcastle University, specializing in temporomandibular disorders (TMD), orofacial pain, and dental public health. His work bridges clinical practice, patient-centered care, and translational research. He collaborates globally to develop standardized diagnostic criteria and clinical guidelines for TMD management, emphasizing evidence-based approaches.
- Key Focus Areas: Orofacial pain mechanisms, chronic pain management, dental care access disparities, and healthcare policy.
- Major Projects: The DEEP Study (assessing costs and outcomes of persistent orofacial pain), development of the OHIP-TMD patient-reported outcome measure, and international Delphi processes for diagnostic criteria.
Research interests span from molecular mechanisms (e.g., neuronal signaling pathways in pain) to large-scale epidemiological studies on dental care utilization. He regularly publishes on clinical practice guidelines, such as NHS England's GIRFT recommendations for TMD management.
Articles consistently address themes like diagnostic challenges, patient navigation of healthcare systems, and the socioeconomic impact of orofacial pain. His work highlights interdisciplinary collaboration, emphasizing the integration of dentistry, neurology, and public health.
