A number of nondental conditions may cause significant oral pain. Pain associated with temporal arteritis is localized to the maxillary posterior teeth, the maxilla, or the frontal-temple region. This pain is often associated with exquisite tenderness of the scalp and face. The pain of trigeminal neuralgia is typically felt in the anterior maxillary or mandibular anterior teeth; it radiates along the mandible toward or into the ear on the ipsilateral side of the trigger. Pain may remit for months or years but is often severe when it recurs. Burning mouth syndrome preferentially affects postmenopausal women older than 50 years; one half to two thirds of patients experience spontaneous remission within 6 to 7 years, with or without treatment. The pain of postherpetic neuralgia is unilateral and restricted to the affected dermatome; it may be aggravated by mechanical contact or chewing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
