Differential diagnosis of orofacial pain is an extremely challenging aspect of dental practice. Appropriate treatment and/or referral are dependent upon accurate identification of these diseases, syndromes, or clinical conditions. This presentation will provide a review of current basic concepts of pain mechanisms, pathways, and referral patterns in the head and neck. A protocol for systematic evaluation of the masticator and cervical regions including vascular and neural structure will be presented.
