Dental issues are the most frequent cause of referred ear pain (otalgia), often overlooked by doctors. Prompt dental examination can diagnose or rule out this common condition, preventing unnecessary tests.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Dentistry
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Referred otalgia presents a diagnostic challenge for otolaryngologists.
  • Dental disorders are the most common cause of secondary otalgia, accounting for up to 50% of cases.
  • Temporomandibular joint dysfunction and posterior tooth decay are frequent dental origins of otalgia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review common dental causes of otalgia.
  • To provide ENT clinicians with examination guidelines for diagnosing dental otalgia.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of dental causes of referred otalgia.
  • Development of a rapid dental and temporomandibular joint examination protocol.

Main Results:

  • Dental disorders are a leading cause of referred otalgia.
  • A structured examination can effectively identify or exclude dental origins of ear pain.

    • Conclusions:

    • Dental conditions frequently cause referred otalgia.
    • Implementing a simple dental examination can improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce unnecessary investigations.
