ABSTRACT
The diagnostic process of pain in the oral, facial, and head region is often perceived as more difficult due the numerous, extensively innervated structures located in this area. To successfully manage the patient with these pain presentations, it is critical for the clinician to spend ample time procuring a good medical and dental history. A systematic approach to the physical examination will ensure that sufficient data are acquired without overlooking potentially important contributing factors. The use of adjunctive laboratory tests and imaging studies should be based on the findings in the history and examination.
