Orofacial movement disorders

Abstract

This article reviews three poorly recognized yet relatively common presentations of hyperactive orofacial movement disorders: oromandibular dystonia, orofacial dyskinesia, and drug-induced extrapyramidal syndrome reactions. Orofacial movement disorders are often misdiagnosed as temporomandibular disorders, hence understanding these conditions is pertinent for the practitioner treating orofacial pain. Aspects of epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and diagnosis are discussed along with treatment considerations for these orofacial movement disorders.
