"ABSTRAKOrofacial pain includes pain associated with the hard and soft tissues of the head, face, neck and all of the intraoral structures. Upon painful episodes, consuming analgesics or traditional medicine are relatively common. It is also a common sense that high cholesterol and hypertension may contribute to the pain. Since most pain sufferers are women, estrogen is proposed to be a modulator of pain perception. Nevertheless, the mechanism of pain modulation in women is still in controversy. Systemic manivestations of periodontal disease are widely accepted. However, the role of pedodontal disease as an etiology of orofacial and musculoskeletal pains is rarely discussed. Recent study in medical psychoneuroimmunology may reveal the possibility of periodontal disease as an etiology of these painful symptoms. The objective of this study is to reveal the possibility of periodontal disease as an etiology of orofacial and musculoskeletal pains. Periodontal treatments were done to women who suffered from orofacial and musculoskeletal pains, resulting in the dissapearing of the symptoms. Regarding to the amazing results, the conclusion is that especially in women, periodontal disease may cause orofacial and musculoskeletal pains especially in women."

ABSTRACTThe AAOP Guidelines for Assessment, Diagnosis, and Management of Orofacial Pain is an invaluable resource for all health care professionals who evaluate and treat patients with orofacial pain and face the daunting task of "keeping up with the literature" in the rapidly emerging arena of pain management in clinical practice. This new edition continues to emphasize evidence-based knowledge and, for the first time, offers a summary of key points at the beginning of each chapter. Other important changes include an entirely new chapter on sleep and its relationship to pain and well-being; new imaging guidelines for the diagnosis of headache, TMD, and neuropathic pain; a new section on dysesthesias related to neuropathic pain; comprehensive descriptions of SUNCT/SUNA in the chapter devoted to primary headache disorders; and recommendations for quantitative sensory testing, narcotic agreement, and brief screening questionnaires used in patient assessment. Most important, the differential diagnosis and TMD chapters reflect the recommendations of the long-awaited RDC/TMD taxonomy, which will have a significant impact on clinical practice. "
