“…In most cases of TMD, pain becomes chronic and exerts inevitable effects on patients’ daily habits including chewing and eating . Like any other type of orofacial pain, for example acute dental pain, trigeminal neuralgia and persistent dentoalveolar pain disorder, TMD pain can be irritating . This can have detrimental effects on social behaviour and psychological conditions of the patients.…”

On the other hand, the psychosocial impairment in TMD populations can change both treatment outcome and the trend of the disease.…”

Objectives: This case-control study aimed to compare patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and healthy controls in terms of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) considering Graded Chronic Pain Scale (GCPS) scores, pain duration, psychological impairment and demographic characteristics.Methods: A total of 75 patients with TMD and 75 healthy controls were recruited. The short version of Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) was administered for evaluating the OHRQoL. Psychosocial impairments were assessed using the General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28). The Research Diagnostic Criteria for TemporomandibularDisorders (RDC/TMD) axis I and II were also used for patient diagnosis and collecting GCPS scores, pain duration, age and gender. Independent-sample t tests, Pearson's chi-square tests and multiple logistic and linear regression models were applied for statistical analysis. Results:The mean age of the patients was 34.3±12.4 years. A female-to-male ratio of 6:1 was seen in the TMD group. The prevalence and severity of the OHIP were significantly different between the TMD and control groups (66.7% vs 12.0% and 18.0 vs 9.2, respectively). According to multiple logistic regression for OHIP prevalence and multiple linear regression for OHIP severity in the TMD group, GCPS scores and pain duration, followed by psychological impairment, were the most important predictors of the OHRQoL. Conclusion:TMD negatively affected the OHRQoL, particularly in patients with psychological impairments. Meanwhile, age and gender did not seem to have a serious effect. Hence, promoting the quality of life of patients with TMD requires emphasis on chronic pain management and maintaining good mental health.

“…Considering the relatively high prevalence of orofacial pain in the general population and as it can adversely affect the quality of life of the patients [7-9], prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of such patients are of high importance in improving public health. However, pain evaluation is difficult as pain is a subjective feeling; studies have shown that chronic orofacial pain may be misdiagnosed as pain with dental origin and may lead to incorrect treatment by dentists [10-13].…”

Background and Objective:Diagnosis and treatment of chronic orofacial pain are one of the most challenging issues in dentistry. The purpose of this study was to assess the knowledge of general dentists regarding orofacial pain in Kermanshah, Iran.Methods:This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2016 including general dentists of Kermanshah city. A researcher-designed questionnaire was administered to collect demographic data as well as measuring knowledge of the dentists in four sections including etiology, clinical presentations, physical examination, and treatment of chronic orofacial pain. The questionnaire had acceptable validity (content validity > 0.9) and reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient= 0.857 for test re-test; Cronbach’s alpha= 0.72 for internal consistency). The data were analyzed by the SPSS software (ver. 18.0) using Spearman’s correlation coefficient (P < 0.05).Results:There were 121 male (72.9%) and 45 female (27.1%) dentists with mean (SD) age of 40.55 (8.03) years and mean (SD) practice history of 13.28 (8.43) years. Mean (SD) knowledge score was 10.54 (2.36) (maximum possible score= 15). 48.2% of dentists had good knowledge in overall. 48.2% about etiology, 45.2% about clinical presentations, 36.1% about physical examination, and 7.8% about treatment had good knowledge. Knowledge had direct and significant relationship with age (r = 0.179; P = 0.022) and practice history (r = 0.18; P = 0.021).Conclusion:The results showed that the studied dentists did not have enough knowledge about chronic orofacial pain especially in the treatment field. Therefore, it is recommended to implement educational programs to improve their knowledge.

“…This is complicated further with the unique aspects of the orofacial region ; it contains or is adjacent to the special senses, it is largely responsible for verbal and non‐verbal (facial expression) communication, and it is largely responsible for lifesaving reflexes to prevent inhalation or ingestion of toxic substances. Consequently, it is likely that pain in the orofacial region may have significant psychological and social impact on the individual and community .…”

An understanding of the clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, and evidence-based management of the various neuropathic orofacial pain conditions is particularly important for dental practitioners, as these conditions may present as, and are frequently misdiagnosed as being of dental origin. This may lead to inappropriate, invasive, irreversible, and potentially pain aggravating dental treatment. A consistent approach to assessment and management of neuropathic pain is essential to better understand the burden of this disease and determine, through research, whether or not management strategies are effective. Importantly, this consistency provides a common language for health practitioners, patients, researchers, funding bodies, policy makers and other groups involved directly or indirectly in pain management.
