Abstract

Orofacial pain, especially dental pain, is a common experience among people from all age groups in different societies that represents a sign that something worn is occurring warning us of actual or impending further tissue damage. The interest in orofacial pain is due to its common occurrence in the general population and on the grounds that orofacial pain adversely affects people’s daily life routine, including work and school activities. The prevalence of orofacial pain is remarkably different across epidemiologic studies, varying between 17% and 26%. Similarly, dental pain prevalence may range from 7% to 55% between studies. The main reasons for such diversity are the differences in the age group investigated, as well as methodological choices, including the location of orofacial pain and the recall period of pain. It is commonly acknowledged that clinical oral status and temporomandibular disorders are of the greatest importance for orofacial pain aetiology. Yet, orofacial pain has been also related to socioeconomic status, behaviours, local mechanical factors, psychological factors and co-morbidities.
