    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Psychiatry
    • Pain Management

    Background:

    • Orofacial pain often presents with identifiable organic etiologies.
    • However, cases exist where pain severity disproportionately exceeds objective findings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the importance of considering psychiatric factors in orofacial pain.
    • To emphasize the need for integrated treatment approaches.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical assessment of orofacial pain patients.
    • Evaluation for organic versus non-organic pain components.
    • Psychiatric evaluation when indicated.

    Main Results:

    • A subset of patients with orofacial pain lack a clear organic cause commensurate with their distress.
  • Psychiatric conditions can manifest or exacerbate orofacial pain symptoms.

    • Conclusions:

    • Psychiatric evaluation and treatment are essential adjuncts in managing orofacial pain when organic causes are insufficient.
    • A multidisciplinary approach integrating organic and psychiatric therapies improves patient outcomes.
