    Summary

    Identifying head pain linked to occlusal disharmony requires careful clinical evaluation. Correcting occlusal contacts and assessing patient symptoms, anxiety, and adaptation are key to treatment decisions.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Neurology
    • Pain Management

    Background:

    • Head pain can be challenging to diagnose.
    • Occlusal disharmony is a potential contributing factor.
    • Clinical examination is crucial for diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the clinical examination process for patients with head pain potentially related to occlusal disharmony.
    • To provide guidance on managing occlusal disharmony in relation to head pain.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical examination of patients presenting with head pain.
    • Identification and correction of gross interceptive occlusal contacts.
    • Evaluation of patient signs and symptoms.

    Main Results:

    • Gross interceptive occlusal contacts should be corrected universally.
    • Treatment decisions for asymptomatic patients depend on symptom evaluation.
    • Factors influencing treatment include disharmony intensity, anxiety, and adaptive response.

    Conclusions:

    • A systematic clinical evaluation is necessary to link head pain with occlusal disharmony.
    • Interceptive occlusal adjustments are indicated for all patients with disharmony.
    • Patient-specific factors are critical in deciding whether to adjust asymptomatic occlusions.
