[Headaches of dental origin (author's transl)]

Headaches are frequent symptoms. Their etiology is due to multiple disturbances of various origins : vascular, digestive, arthrosic, ophthalmologic, ORL. The origin of a headaches is not always quickly revealable to the physician, and the usual analgesics do not soothe the pain. The studied cases prove that most of the headaches are accompanied by dental functional signs, and a panoramic radiography of the jaw can guide the diagnosis. For each studied case, the stomatologic treatment leads to the complete withdrawal of the aching symptom; therefore the presence of the dental etiology in headaches is proved.
