Intraoral pain disorders

Joel J Napeñas. Dent Clin North Am. 2013 Jul.

Abstract

Dental and oral diseases are common findings in the general population. Pain associated with dental or periodontal disease is the primary reason why most patients seek treatment from providers. Thus, it is essential that all complaints of pain in the mouth and face include ruling out pain of dental origin. However, intraoral pain is not exclusively a result of dental disorders. This review outlines common somatic intraoral pain disorders, which can originate from disease involving one or more broad anatomic areas: the teeth, the surrounding soft tissues (mucogingival, tongue, and salivary glands), and bone.
