Orofacial pain is the presenting symptom of a broad spectrum of
diseases. Some of these disorders are easily recognized and treated
whereas others defy classification and are unresponsive to present
treatment methods. The possible causes of orofacial pain are
considerable and cross the boundaries of many medical and dental
disciplines. As a symptom, it may be due to disease of the
orofacial structures, generalized musculoskeletal or rheumatic
disease, peripheral or central nervous system disease, or
psychological abnormality; or the pain may be referred from other
sources (e.g., cervical muscles or intracranial pathology). OFP may
also occur in the absence of detectable physical, imaging, or
laboratory abnormalities. Non-odontogenic pains often pose a
diagnostic dilemma for the dental practitioner. This book reviews
extensibly on causes of nonodontogenic orofacial pain with detailed
deliberation on pathophysiology, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment
of orofacial pain due to neural and vascular causes.
