This article describes the various sensory and motor disorders which afflict the orofacial region. Such information is essential to the modern dentist who wishes to be proficient in the diagnosis of patients with these problems. These abnormalities are broadly separated into three groups of pathologic conditions: Temporomandibular disorders; chronic orofacial pain disorders; and oral motor disorders. Although much more can be said about each reviewed condition, this article focuses on the diagnostic features of each specific disorder within each of these 3 groups. It suggests alternate nomenclature for each disorder, where appropriate. Due to space limitations the article does not cover the procedures for management of each disorder, however, the reader is referred to appropriate references in this regard. The overall intent of the article is to help the dental practitioner recognize and differentiate the above conditions.
本文描述了困扰口面部区域的各种感觉和运动障碍。这些信息对于希望精通诊断患有这些问题患者的现代牙医来说至关重要。这些异常大致分为三类病理状况：颞下颌关节紊乱病；慢性口面部疼痛障碍；以及口腔运动障碍。尽管对于每种所综述的状况可以阐述更多内容，但本文重点关注这三组中每种特定障碍的诊断特征。在适当的情况下，本文还建议了每种障碍的替代命名法。由于篇幅限制，本文未涵盖每种障碍的治疗程序，不过，在这方面读者可参考相关的参考文献。本文的总体目的是帮助牙科从业者识别和区分上述状况。
