[Incident of CMD in patients with non typical headache].

Headache is a very common symptom related to the craniomandibular disorders. In the last 25 years a remarkable number of research studies have proved the close relation between headache and dysfunction of the stomatognathic system. There has been many classifications of the types of headache but none of them has been accepted by the plurality of clinicians and researchers working on the subject. The commonest headache is the one named "tension/headache". Its frequency and its close relation to the craniomandibular disorders have been the reason for the systemic research of this subject with the cooperation of the neurologic clinic of the NIMTS. The material consisted of 35 patients who had headache as a main disturbance. There has been evaluation of their dysfunction as well as their neurologic condition. The results of the study have proved that a considerable number of these patients had headaches due to craniomandibular dysfunction. We also found out that many people suffer from craniomandibular disorders without knowing it. The results of the present research are according with those of similar studies of the international literature.
