Abstract
in English, Russian

Orofacial pain is a comprehensive and multi-faceted syndrome. After dental causes have been excluded, neurologists are challenged to diagnose the cause of pain. The paper gives a detailed review of one of the most common causes of facial pain - temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Current DC/TMD diagnostic criteria, patient examination protocols and a new perspective on TMD pathophysiology based on the recent neurological studies are presented. The article also discusses modern approaches to TMD management.

Синдром орофациальной боли представляет собой сложную и многогранную проблему. В ситуации, когда стоматологические причины исключены, невролог встречается со сложной задачей диагностики причины боли в лице. В статье дан подробный обзор одной из наиболее распространенных причин лицевой боли - дисфункции височно-нижнечелюстного сустава (ДВНЧС). Представлены современные критерии диагностики, правила обследования пациентов с ДВНЧС и новый взгляд на патогенез этой группы заболеваний с учетом последних исследований в неврологии. Обсуждаются современные подходы к лечению ДВНЧС.
