  • Title: Atypical odontalgia: a case report.
    Author: Koratkar H, Koratkar S.
    Journal: Gen Dent; 2008; 56(4):353-5. PubMed ID: 19284197.
    Abstract:
    Diagnosis and treatment of orofacial pain is not uncommon; however, reaching a definitive diagnosis in these cases can be a complex challenge. Dentists are most likely to face this situation, because persistent and chronic pain is more common in the head and neck region than in any other part of the body. However, the complexities and diagnostic challenges mean that misdiagnosing neuropathic pain is common. This article presents a case of atypical odontalgia and illustrates the complexities involved when diagnosing the condition.
