(1) Promising reports, however, support its use in the diagnosis of neuralgias and atypical odontalgia, TMJ, nerve damage and repair after oral surgery, and in evaluating local dental anesthesia.
(2) The purpose of the present study is to update the reader on atypical odontalgia and to present some preliminary data on the long-term follow-up of a subsample (n = 28) of these patients.
(3) The cause, pathological features, diagnosis, and management of an oral herpes zoster infection with prodromal odontalgia are discussed.
(4) This article reports a pertinent case of a 50-year-old man who exhibited prodromal odontalgia before the appearance of vesicular mucocutaneous lesions, together with severe destruction of the maxillary bone and exfoliation of multiple teeth.
(5) The most frequently found indications are: Odontalgia, Inflammation of the oral mucosa, Bad breath, Progressing dental cavities.
(6) Henricues Regius (1598--1679), professor at the University of Utrecht was the first physician who accepted the physiology of the philosopher Descartes (1596--1750) that he exposed in Fundamenta physices (1646) and in Fundamenta Medicinae (1647) but in Praxis Medica (1657) his therapy of the "odontalgia" is still mediaeval according to the principles of Galen.
(7) A case of trigeminal neuralgia presenting as odontalgia in a 47-year-old female is described.
(8) On the basis of this larger sample size, the relationship between atypical odontalgia and migraine does not appear to be as strong as initially reported.
(9) The findings in 30 cases diagnosed as atypical odontalgia are presented.
(10) The present study shows a high frequency of self-medication in patients with odontalgia suggesting that this type of pain might be useful as a model to study self-medication with analgesic drugs.
(11) Odontalgia is a painful condition which is frequently associated to self-medication with analgesics.
(12) To help avert the untimely diagnosis of atypical odontalgia, identifying inclusion criteria are presented.
(13) A case of oral herpes zoster infection with prodromal odontalgia is presented.
(14) Atypical odontalgia describes atypical facial pain in apparently normal teeth.
(15) Forty-four cases of odontalgia are described which are considered to be a painful migraine-like disturbance of the blood vessels of the dental pulp and periodontal membrane.
(16) This paper reviews literature on idiopathic odontalgia and tooth hypersensitivity without apparent cause, and considers the role bioelectric mechanisms may play in the onset and treatment of these moderately common disorders.
(17) Atypical odontalgia patients are typified by women in their mid-40s who complain of persistent pain in one or more premolar or molar teeth.
(18) Atypical odontalgia (AO) is a dental condition that is usually diagnosed by exclusion after failure of multiple dental treatments.
(19) While the cause of atypical odontalgia is uncertain, deafferentation pain appears to be a plausible mechanism.
