Orofacial pain is a common complaint with the vast majority of cases the result of an acute dental cause. There are, however, a number of patients who experience chronic orofacial pain in whom no dental cause can be found, and it is therefore important to identify these patients in order to avoid unnecessary dental procedures. Successful management of chronic orofacial pain depends on the correct diagnosis and appropriate interventions with a biopsychosocial approach.
口面部疼痛是一种常见的主诉，绝大多数病例是由急性牙齿问题引起的。然而，有许多患者经历慢性口面部疼痛，却找不到牙齿方面的病因，因此识别这些患者很重要，以便避免不必要的牙科治疗。慢性口面部疼痛的成功管理取决于正确的诊断以及采用生物心理社会方法进行适当干预。
