A pathologic dental condition is by far the most common cause of orofacial pain. There are, however, certain patients who possess and exhibit myriad signs and symptoms that mimic pathologic dental conditions but do not have a dental cause. These patients pose a diagnostic dilemma for the dental practitioner. Unfortunately, there are many documented cases of misdiagnosis and mismanagement in patients with deafferentiation pain, neuropathic pain, trigeminal neuralgia, and temporal arteritis. These orofacial pain disorders warrant special consideration for the dental practitioner and are reviewed in this article.
到目前为止，病理性牙齿疾病是口腔颌面部疼痛最常见的原因。然而，有一些患者表现出无数类似病理性牙齿疾病的体征和症状，但并非由牙齿问题引起。这些患者给牙科医生带来了诊断难题。不幸的是，有许多记录在案的关于去传入性疼痛、神经性疼痛、三叉神经痛和颞动脉炎患者误诊和治疗不当的病例。这些口腔颌面部疼痛疾病值得牙科医生特别关注，本文将对此进行综述。
