“…(Koskinen, et al, 1980) Chart 1 widely demonstrates how otic symptoms are intimately associated with TMD. (Goodfriend, 1933;Principato & Barwell, 1978;Brookes et al, 1980;Gelb & Bernstein, 1983a,b;Fricton et al, 1985;Bush, 1986;Wedel & Carlsson, 1986;Chole & Parker, 1992;Kisnisci, 1999;Wright & Syms, 2000;Tuz et al, 2003). It is important to mention that in this chart the researchers at the beginning of this century recognized TMD patients based on the clinician's preferred etiology hypothesis but the multifactorial nature of TMD began to be acknowledged in 1960 due to a demand for its diagnostic criteria.…”

SUMMARY:For many years otic symptoms have been closely observed in TMD clinical practice. This review includes trials that meet eligibility criteria in the field of otic symptoms diagnosed and treated by a stomatognathic focal point. The aim is centered on the implications of the debated cause-effect connection between otic symptoms and TMD offering a probable bond between the TMJ, ear and adjacent structures. The rationalization is based on an embryological and anatomical approach that offers explanations on the otic pathogenic mechanisms symptoms interconnected with TMD. The accompanying reciprocity among disciplines of odontology and otolaryngology is brought together by TMD and otic referred mutual symptomatology as is showed in multiple trials. This research is an attempt that targets the integration of these two health specialties in the diagnosis and treatment of this type of population.

A several number of patients seeking dentists with Oro-facial pain will have intracranial tumors as the primary cause. Before the right diagnosis is made, these patients may undergo unnecessary dental involvements. This is because there are difficulties of diagnosis as the symptoms sometimes lead to misdiagnosis. Patients who present with symptoms that extend beyond the typical presentation of oro-facial pain are at highest risk for intracranial tumors and should be further evaluated.

“…1 A report from a TMD specialty clinic showed that 55% of their patients met the criteria of having chronic myofascial pain or myalgia. 2 Physiotherapy is the treatment of choice for myofascial pain treatment, because it relieves musculoskeletal pain, restores normal function by coordinating muscle activity, and promotes the repair and regeneration of tissue. 3 The use of pharmacological treatments in accompanying physiotherapy is often used, though there is no guidance on when and how to deliver the mode of treatment.…”

Background: Myalgia is the most common cause of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMDs) pain, which has a dull and mild character. In some patients with high somatization, it can present itself as severe pain, which can complicate the treatment. Additional pharmacological treatment may thus be needed. Case Report: Two female patients came with similar symptoms but different pain intensities. The first patient had a high intensity of pain, which became severe during examination. The second patient had more complaints but showed typical symptoms of myalgia. Both received physiotherapy sessions, but for the first patient, we added analgesics to help the patient endure physiotherapy. Conclusion: Additional pharmacological treatments, especially analgesics, can be used in helping myalgia patients with high somatization to undergo physiotherapy.
