title: [Diagnosis and clinical manifestations of dental plexalgia].
abstract: The article considers characteristics of clinical manifestations of dental plexalgia, a new form of the disease related to impairment of dental plexuses. In a clinicophysiological study of 56 patients with dental plexalgia conducted at a neurostomatological department the authors used rheofaciography, thermometry and thermography of the face skin, esthesiometry, and electrodiagnosis of the oral mucosa. Electrodiagnosis of the oral mucosa helps to specify the diagnosis of dental plexalgia. The authors describe differential diagnosis criteria reflecting the peculiarities of the clinical picture of dental plexalgia which is characterized by the persistent pain in the area of the damaged plexus with peculiar irradiation which may be used for the diagnosis, rational etiopathogenetic therapy, prophylaxis, and prognosis of the disease.
