Orofacial pain Dermatomes of the face. MeSH D005157 Orofacial pain is a general term covering any pain which is felt in the mouth, jaws and the face. Orofacial pain is a common symptom, and there are many causes. [1] t is estimated that over !"# of cases of orofacial pain result from dental causes $i.e. toothache caused %y pulpitis or a dental a%scess&.

Contents [hide] 1 +efinition ' /lassification - 0pidemiology 1 +ifferential diagnosis " 2eferences Definition[edit] +efined %oundaries of the orofacial pain region. Orofacial pain has %een defined as 3pain locali4ed to the region a%ove the neck, in front of the ears and %elow the or%itomeatal line, as well as pain within the oral cavity5 [including] pain of dental origin and temporomandi%ular disorders3. [1] 6owever, some orofacial pain conditions may involve areas outside this region, e.g. temporal pain in )*+. )oothache, or odontalgia, is any pain perceived in the teeth or their supporting structures $i.e. the periodontium&. )oothache is therefore a type of orofacial pain. /raniofacial pain is an overlapping topic which includes pain perceived in the head, face, and related structures, sometimes including neck pain. ["] Classification[edit] )here are 1 main classifications which attempt to classify the causes of orofacial pain, %ut no system is universally accepted. [7]

$see temporomandi%ular joint dysfunction<diagnostic criteria&. t has also %een suggested that the most %asic etiologic classification of orofacial pain is into the following - groups= [!] 1. :rimarily somatic, arising from musculoskeletal $e.g. )*+ pain or periodontal pain& or visceral structures $e.g. pulpal pain or pain from the salivary glands&, and transmitted via an intact pain transmission and modulation system. '. :rimarily neuropathic, which occurs as a result of a%normal or damaged pain pathways, e.g. a surgical or traumatic injury to a peripheral nerve. -. :rimarily psychological, which is rare $8ee= psychogenic pain&. Epidemiology[edit] Orofacial pain is common pro%lem.
