Despite a variety of educational activities in the field of temporomandibular disorders and orofacial pain, such as courses, congresses, and publications, detailed knowledge about how respective lecturers and authors proceed in the management of their patients is lacking. To fill part of this knowledge gap to some extent, the spectrum of patients who consulted with the author at the University Center for Dental Medicine Basel in January 2021 is presented in this article. These patients were new referrals, ongoing cases, and recall patients, ranging from simple to complex, textbook-like to exceptional. Summary descriptions and individual case histories are used to explain the author’s evidence-based diagnostic and therapeutic approach, and many tips are given. Monthly statistics and concluding thoughts round off the article. Keywords: mandibular mobility, masticatory muscles, temporomandibular joints, orofacial pain, temporomandibular disorders, occlusal disturbances, history taking, diagnostic imaging, oral splints, evidence-based dentistry
