Abstract

This chapter represents a concerted attempt to provide the clinician with a comprehensive overview on the basic neurobiological mechanisms underlying the many different manifestations of jaw muscle pain and disorders. The range of conditions varies from muscle pain being secondary to other diseases and conditions, to being the primary pain condition, i.e., there are no obvious causes or known etiological factors for the pain or dysfunction. A careful history and clinical examination of the jaw and neck muscles will facilitate a tentative diagnosis that may be followed by the need for additional examinations and investigations. This chapter will aid in the diagnostic process and institution of appropriate therapy for masticatory muscle pain.
