Abstract
- The diagnosis and management of chronic orofacial pain can be difficult due to the multifactorial nature of the problem involving organic, psychological and social and cultural variables. The establishment of multidisciplinary pain clinics can assist the medical practitioner in both diagnosis and treatment. A review of 185 patients complaining of chronic orofacial pain is presented to show the main conditions diagnosed at a pain clinic.
